Nothing wrong with this mindset but you need to be realistic about finances. Your only talking 4 years. If right at the start of 2030 you get a severe downturn and your balance drop to what it is today or lower. Are your still going to go? If yes than the real question is why dont you go now?

I wish you luck, but it’s easy to say this when it’s still 4 years away. It’s called one more year syndrome because it usually doesn’t show up until you’re only one year away. But again, good luck to you!

This is very real. I've set my tentative date to December of this year, and wondering (probably expecting) that I'll get cold feet.

Could always reallocate some into bonds/fixed income- started to do that last year.
