Is there anything you would do differently if you realised that you have a health condition that shortens your life expectancy?

Post Body

I was told I have a chronic condition that will get worse over time and may make me partially disabled. It doesn't necessarily mean that I will die early. However, it means that I will become incapable of travelling, hiking or doing other physical activities much earlier than other people. Other patients with this condition usually have a very bad quality-of-life (extreme pain, inability to do physical activities) at around 45-50 years old.

If you were 28 and you were told that after 45, you will be tied to a wheel chair, would you make any changes to your financial plans?

I'm currently 28 and was following the usual, generic FIRE plan. I used to compromise on activities I really enjoy in order to save money. However, I am re-thinking my plan now. I will still continue saving and investing. However, I do think that when I'm confused about going on a hiking trip with friends or staying at home to save money, I will now, more often, choose the former rather than the latter.
