[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have a somewhat similar financial situation. We got to our original FIRE number earlier than expected due to an inheritance, and now the lifestyle creep is happening in part because we never intended to retire at 40 and in part because it’s nice to travel more, eat out, and plan for a second home purchase. My husband’s preference would be for us both to work at 100% for as little time as possible and then retire fully. We’ll likely compromise with him working full-time at least to mid-40s and then part-time for another 5-10 years to cover our health insurance while I downgrade to consulting. There was a time when I wanted to retire fully while he continued part-time work but I think that will inevitably create an imbalance for us. Perhaps you can compromise by pulling back on how much you work or the type of work, but still generate some income with a job you’d enjoy more.[/quote]
