[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP was not talking about retirement; they were talking about quitting work while their spouse keeps working.  That's not the same thing.[/quote]

Is it only retirement if spouses retire together?  I’ve never heard that definition.[/quote]

Quitting work at 35 to rely on spouse's income is also a stretch from the definition of retirement.[/quote]

I essentially did what OP is proposing when DH got a big promotion, and yes I had built up a healthy nest egg, but I would hardly call it retiring. [/quote]

+2 Nothing wrong with being a SAHM (I'm one), but stopping working at age 35 isn't retirement.[/quote]

What would you call it if you don’t have kids at home?  It’s certainly not SAHM.

I think this is a good example of what MMM calls “the internet retirement police”.[/quote]

No, that's not a good example.  If both quit at 35 and then took up random small jobs they were interested in it would be an example of retirement police. If one quits at 35 to be supported by a spouse, it's a stay at home spouse.[/quote]
