[quote=Anonymous]I am in a very similar, though financially better position. I also just got laid off and I am 46, DH is 50. We have $5M earmarked for retirement across various accounts, and 350K mortgage remaining on the home (maybe 450K equity). Kids are junior and freshman in HS, with a total of $500K+ combined together in 529. DH earns $600K+ depending on stock price for his company.

However the big difference is that, DH hates his job and is in tech (very unstable). I want us to retire together, so I am actively looking for new opportunities, fully aware that it may take more than 6 months to find one, even though I am willing to take a step down. He is fully supportive of my decision to stay home if I want to, but honestly, I would rather work and have us retire at the same time in 5-6 years. For anything extra that we don't use, we are always happy to spend on luxury stuff or pass the money on to kids to get them a leg up. It also comes to priorities and mindset, I have more of a scarcity mindset, so I will have financial anxiety if I retire so early.  Being in tech with such a bad job market also doesn't help. I am actively looking for a job, but still enjoying some of my free time for exercise and hobbies. Like they say finding a full time job is almost a job in itself. [/quote]
