The dice reference was in response to the example you gave of your father who worked and saved all his life and now travels in his 70's. It's great that his plan worked out for him but... putting off things until you retire is a gamble because you may not be able to do them when that time comes.
Ie. You roll the dice that you will be able. Renal dialysis, stroke, insulin dependent diabetes, heart problems, grand children, disabled spouse or child, Parkinson, early onset dementia, Huntington, falling off a ladder, arthritis...
One thing I have learned is that, if you take some time mid stream, to do the things you dream of, the jobs and obligations will still be there either way.
I imagine more people regret not following a dream while they were able than the time they could have spent working for that period instead.
