[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's expensive to retire and we very easily could be going into a bad economic downturn. (Though who knows.) I would guess your DH is reacting to that. My DH and I are continuing to work as long as we can to more solidly secure our retirement for the unknowns to come. And we are older than you. I would not be happy if either of us lost our jobs right now if were in our 40s.[/quote] But at what net worth and spousal income would you change your position? What if DH’s income was over $700k base, he was hard to fire without cause, and NW was mid- or high-seven figures? The biggest thing weighing to on me, after his change of heart, is that our youngest kid’s 529 plan isn't fully funded up to an Ivy, and I'm the only one who has cared enough to fund them so far.
