[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this is my husband. He took a buyout while we were in the process of moving. We realized while he wasn’t working, my career soared. He was able to manage our move and subsequent renovation projects perfectly and i got a huge promotion. We don’t need him to work to get by financially and I like that he handles all the pickups and dropoffs. That said, I always figured he’d eventually get another job or some consulting work for mental health/self-actualizarion purposes. But it’s been more than two years now and I see no signs that he’s interested.[/quote]

Are you ok with him never working again? What’s stopping him?[/quote]

Insecurity is stopping him I think. He’s worried about ageism in late 40s. I’m OK with him never working again but I also have a gnawing feeling that it’s not the best thing for him mental health wise.[/quote]

I just started a job as a data scientist at 48. Tell your hubby he can do it too. If took me a year to do so but I made it. Maybe he will scuff at the $180k I am getting paid but it's not a bad salary.[/quote]
