[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read everything but I would be kissed if DH rates his need to retire 2-3 years early with the option for a better for for DC’s education. Your salary affords you and your family many things. Why would you not see education at the most important.

We make you salary combined but we agree 100% that DC education is the best $ spent.

I can understand some things but wanting to play golf full time for a year or two earlier or some such seems so incredibly selfish.[/quote]

You work!! There is a big difference between 2 people making 500k and ONE person making 500k and carrying 3 people on his back!! [/quote]

You think the wife who takes care of everything at home is not putting the family on her back? Both people in OP's family work; only one gets paid for it. But both contribute to the domestic efforts.

Why then is the only consideration how much extra OP has to work? And why doesn't he give up some luxuries of his own if he wants to retire earlier? I'm sure there are expenses that OP incurs, for his own benefit, that he could forego in exchange for sending kids to private school, and still retire early.

I know someone like OP. He let his mother in law languish in a terrible nursing home because he was insistent on retiring early. But he still had a nice big house, new cars, nice vacations, etc.  [/quote]
