From seeing what some of my parent's friends are going through, I'd go for building the nest egg first.
Some of my parent's friends planned on retiring on "x" amount of money and for various reasons, "x" is far less than they actually need now.
What's working another 5 years of something you aren't too excited about after doing 20 already, if it means you ACTUALLY get to work doing what you want after that no matter what happens?
Anyway, that's the way I look at it. The people my parents know that have had to go back to work are not very happy.
