[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he’s a professor he doesn’t have to retire. The stresses of being a professor are primarily from having to produce a lot of original research to get tenure and promotions. Once he’s retirement age he can just keep teaching and get his entire paycheck. Stopping or significantly reducing research amounts to more than a 60% reduction in work - especially since he will be used to his classes at that point.

He will have summers and all breaks off, you can travel easily. This is the ideal retirement situation. I don’t get why you’re stressing about it. [/quote]

This is so dumb.  This plan only works if you don't get Alzheimer's, some other form of dementia, or have a long chronic illness like many of Americans.

Planning to work until you drop is a no plan at all.  If/When DH gets sick in retirement, OP will be on the hook for his care and he'll lose his income.  This wouldn't be a problem if OP actually had a marriage mindset, but this thread has established that OP doesn't.

OP wants a partnership when it suits her.  I am befuddled as to why she got married.[/quote]
