[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in school and play sports, so it's not like I could use the free time to travel. Also, I like to pay for a regular housekeeper and part-time chef (who makes meals for us weekly), and I'm not sure I could justify those if I retired. Knowing I have enough to retire is nice because I say no more often when things come up at work that I don't want to do. And I know I won't lose my job because I'm still profitable, but if I do, so what. [/quote] I agree. I was out of work in Covid for almost a year. There was just me getting in the way. Three kids at home, a dog, SAH wife all had routines last 25 years and did not need me around or have time for me. if last kid out of house and wife home and we could do stuff sure. But today the average 58 year old man with a 55 year old wife may have a 12, 16 and 18 years old and 12 years of college to pay for still and a busy house. This is not your Dad's 58. [/quote]
