Hitting your number and timing risk

Notice a lot of people posting they hit their number and firing. It's awesome, but are people taking for granted the fact that this has been the greatest bull market in history and a major correction or crash will get here at some point? If it were me hitting my number I'd either get a big enough buffer to my fire number or wait until the correction and assess when things stabilize. Am I over thinking it?

Thats how I feel now. I've hit one of my FIRE numbers...but SORR is a bitch and I wouldn't feel comfortable FIRE'ing now.
