How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

There has to be a better system than this.

Don't hold on to things you haven't done before you retire... It is a waste of time and regretting not doing stuff, which lasts for moments, is the folly of youth.

Also what/who you want to do changes as you get older...

/sauce greybeard who is 10 years off retirement.

Yep, your priorities will change, those big plans you had 15 years ago might not seem so important now, and that's perfectly OK.
