Congrats!  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for me as well, with
just 2 1/2 years to go.  It would have been less, but I had to get the pool
which added a year to my plan.

Similar situation sort of here.  It wasn't that I was exactly late to saving,
but having several divorces has a tendency to screw up your finances -
especially when you are the only one that was ever working.

Either way, I'm pretty set on exiting no later than 60 years old if not sooner.
