[quote=Anonymous]My husband was fine with me staying at home after I was affected by the federal return to work order. Like you, I had saved for my retirement - close to 1 mil in IRA and TSP, not including pension. We have one child, I am in mid forties, and wanted to be present for our child. I am also very happy at home - cooking, cleaning (let go of cleaning lady), working out, etc. A problem to be will come when he retires as we have an age gap -but likely I will fund health care from inheritance. I will note that we anticipate he will need me to provide significant care to him as he ages as his parents had/have alzheimer’s and dementia, and I will care for him. I would have been very resentful working full time non stop while missing my child, and eventually providing care for him. I am grateful to stay at home. [/quote]
