Fix strut or wait a few years?

My mechanic said that the struts are leaking and should be replaced. The car has 65700 miles and is a 2000 Boxster. I just use it for short distance side road driving to work and occasional highway driving. I drive it about 3000 miles a year. Haven't been to the track in 15 years. I'm not noticing any huge problems. Possibly a little more creaking with age, no bounce when I push the car down. I got a quote of 3400 for parts and labor including realigning the wheels.

What would you all recommend? Is it critical to do ASAP? Will I harm the car if I wait? Is it unsafe to drive? Or should I just wait a few years (who knows how long it will survive anyway). Is the price right? I'd prefer to wait a few years, as I've put in a lot of money the last three years and want to slow down the spending.

They also recommended replacing brakes and discs for 1000 which I intend on getting done in a few months with the spring/summer oil change.
