[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a WOHM. We make enough for me to retire. I would continue working even if I won the lottery. I think what I do is interesting, and I like contributing to the field I'm in. Frankly, I doubt I will every truly retire because I think I would just end up spending all my time on minutiae in ways that would drive me crazy, or becoming weirdly competitive about silly stuff. My mom was a SAHM, and I always felt she would have been happier if she had worked. She didn't like cooking, or cleaning, and seemed to resent us. She ended up taking a job at around age 65 doing something that had previously been a hobby, partly because she hadn't worked enough in her life to qualify for Social Security. She's fine financially but it just annoyed her. Anyway, she didn't sell me on being a SAHM, and I think working makes me a better mom.[/quote]

Interesting post.

I can retire now but I’ve decided to in 3 years while I mentor someone to get promoted to my position.

I’m trying to figure out my next job (someone up thread is doing art). I have a few options, still figuring it out.

I might work at a vineyard, I might do coaching for free (I do it for money now but for sub executives), i might tutor math.., idk.

My H and I literally talk about what foundation we would create if we win the lottery, we don’t discuss vacations/travel… though we would do that too.

I don’t have “foundation” level money… yet. [/quote]
