I seem to be just fine. Can still downhill ski, bike, run, swim, etc.
Full disclosure, I tend to avoid flying when possible. I also try to limit circadian disruption to red-eye equivalent (I'm a night owl and have no trouble staying up late, but don't like getting up early).

Hobbies. The ones I have in mind aren't cheap. But might get a flying gig of some sort to mix it up a bit.

The airlines afforded me great quality time at home when the kids were little. By the time they get to HS they will tend to do their own thing.
My wife complains every now and then. I just remind her what all of her girlfriend's white-collar husbands make working 60 hours/week. Then she S.T.F.U.
That's just me, you do you. If you want to retire in your 40's, you don't permission from anybody here.
