[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if your DH is going to do all the house stuff, grocery and cooking, deal with all the bills, etc.. basically be a sahh, so you can just focus on work and not think about anything else, sure.

But, I have a feeling that is not his plan. [/quote]

Nobody is going to change their life at 70 fing years old, stop being daft. [/quote]
I know.  Is OP ready for that?  More than likely, OP's DH will have more time on their hands and will bug OP to take more time off, leave work early, and basically be a PIA at home.[/quote]

Ready for what, she's been doing this for 30+ years. GMAFB, this is their relationship. The question is about money not their relationship.

FFS, the dude is 70, of course he is retiring. Don't marry an older dude if you don't want him to retire earlier.

The reality they don't need more money. [/quote]

He shouldn't have married a younger woman either.

So OP keeps working while he enjoys a few years of retirement. When OP retires, he is going downhill and she switches from employee to care taker role. So OP never gets to truly retire.
