Agreed. Those are two totally different things. For example, only one is properly described as "retiring."

I posted above. When I entered the marriage, I had 2/3s of our savings and he had 1/3. Over the course of our lives, I have out-earned him now early over 100K more than he does. I've made 100K more than him at least for the last 5 years so yes, I'll be living off of my initial savings, my money, and I also have always done 3/4 of the home life.

Even if your saved $2M in cash that would not be enough to retire at 48.

Good to see your are keeping score with your DH, this should end well.

2M not enough to retire at 48? Whyever not? You make the decision for her family? Anyway her husband works.

Do you have a prenup?

Why don't you move to an area with good Public schools? You're already in the DC area. I live in Florida and the school's are awful here. You have options OP! Home schooling seems extreme in your area.
