I didn't mean it in a bad way - In answer to the original question, I suggested it as good time to take a look at yourself and see where you are. It's a time to make an assessment, not a suggested date to think about retiring.
Some guys leave too early when they have a lot of good years left, and some hang on too long. Even if you feel good now, I think it's probably a good idea to set a target date when you will try and do an honest assessment of where you are and what you should do. As ajmc mentioned, maybe it's moving to a different level or a different role.
