Asking for some encouragement

Im turning 39 in a month and have about 265k for retirement. about 110k is a pre tax pension. I then have about 100k in Roth contributions to a 457 and the rest is mostly in a Roth IRA with about 3k in a taxable brokerage account. I make roughly 70k a year with about 16 to go. if I continue to put about 30% of my gross does retiring at 55 seem feasible? I'm married and my spouse is a teacher with a pension but she doesn't contribute much to any other retirement vessels. so is 55 do able? anyone with experience retiring at 55 with roughly 1.5 million able to chime in if they're happy or not? should I up my contributions?

I work in Wisconsin and plan to retire in Wisconsin in a low cost of living area
