Default Question of timing belt

I have a Honda Accord 2002 SE for 6 years (I bought it brand new in 7/2002).
Now its milage is 55,000 miles (it run less than 10,000 in recent 2 years and I drive about 10 miles local every day), so far so good and it has no problem.

Now my concern is the timing belt. I was told that for engine from Honda Accord, if the timing belt is broken, it will destroy the whole engine. The manual suggest to change the timing belt in 60,000 miles in severe condition and 90,000 miles in normal condition.

Should I change the timing belt now or in 60,000 miles or sometime later? Does anybody share the experience about it? (And I'm not sure whether the driving condition is severe or normal. I'm in Missouri.)

Thanks,
