I'm 45 years old and already when I was 28 I told myself “If I would die now I would die as a happy man”.
This is not because I didn't have work left to do, but because at that age I had an OK car, a wonderful woman by my side, a decent income, a university degree, had reflected a great deal on life and the world in which I live and had traveled abroad to many fascinating countries.
Most other persons who've managed to reach this perspective on their own existence are way older than 28 (and even 45), but the problem is not that they don't experience a wonderful life until getting old, the problem is that they fail to realize how beautiful life actually is while actually alive.
“They are like him who, in the midst of water, Cries in thirst so imploringly” (I'm not a Zen Buddhist, but this is a pretty good Zen Buddhist saying.)
“...I’m 45 years old and already when I was 28 I told myself If I would die now I would die as a happy man.
This is not because I didn’t have work left to do, but because at that age I had an OK car, a wonderful woman by my side, a decent income, a university degree, had reflected a great deal on life and the world in which I live and had traveled abroad to many fascinating countries....”

I hope you just inadvertently left out “...had wonderful children....” from your “accomplishments” and aren’t like so many other Swedes (and Europeans) who essentially leave production of offspring to your Muslim immigrants.
