[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have any guarantees. If he is bored now, what does he want to do?
Is it imperative financially that you keep working?

I have a parent mid-70s with Parkinson’s who is housebound and will never travel again. If you can do it now, do it.

At least maximize your vacation time and do some fun trips. [/quote]

This is OP. 
It is not imperative that I keep working. We have some savings and we have investments. We also have a second property that we rent out. It's a small, older property and the rent isn't high, but it's a regular additional income for us.
My DH will probably also inherit from his very elderly parent, but that's not guaranteed.

I do like my work, it gives me a lot of satisfaction and self worth, and I think I would find it strange to not work.  To have no role in the workforce.
Having said that, I enjoy doing things with my husband, like traveling, hiking, biking, going to events, dining out, etc.

My DH happy being retired but yes, he sometimes gets bored. 
He loves reading books, and during the colder months he reads the majority of the day. He works out 3 times a week, which is 3 hours, but I think he should increase the time he spends being physically active.
