60K miles on my timing belt, am I pushing it? 200

PO changed the timing belt at 99K. I bough the car when it had 155K miles, I am now at 158K. I am due for a timing belt.

Haynes says every 45K miles, the Volvo Owner's Manual schedule calls for 50K miles interval for this maintenance.

Now from I read, the B230F 2.3 liters engine is non interference, and the worth that can happen is that I will get stranded. Can you confirm that ?

Should timing belt be my next expense ? Or can I just try to wait another 10K? Am I pushing it ? How much have you been able to put on a timing belt?

I am seriously due for some struts, shocks and suspension bushings, can't do it all ... financially.

Thanks for your input.
