Really? I think they're lucky. It's like retiring at 27. I'd love to not work. There are aspects of my job that I like but if they stopped paying me, you better believe I'd stop coming in.[/quote]

+1.  I retired at 40 to SAH.  I worked like a mule all my life and now I have a life of leisure that I had never imagined having.  I also was working for money and I was a worker bee in corporate America.  If I was a doctor saving lives, I would have reconsidered my decision maybe.

As it was, when money was not the consideration for  working, I quit.  My DH still works because he likes his work and having me at home frees him from obligation at home. He can walk through the door in the evening and he does not have to roll up his sleeves and pitch in.  I have continued to employ house cleaners etc, because house work is not my forte but house management is.

[b]I am still working like a mule at 52 even though I don't need the money.[/b] I'm sure you tell yourself your DH likes to work to rationalize you not working.[/quote]

NP. You having a weird hang up tying your worth to your income has nothing to do with OP and her husband. Shut up.
