Howdy ya'll. I've been reading the boards for a couple of years now & I've learned a lot. Thanks to everyone for the information on this board. I'm 53, my husband just turned 60.
I stopped w*rking when my job was eliminated in 2009. My husband has been repeatedly trying to retire. I think this time it will take as his job is being outsourced. I'm so thankful that we're financially able to retire instead of looking for w*rk.
Since it will be at least 2 years, & hopefully 6, before he draws SS, my husband has had a hard time mentally moving from the accumulation to the spending phase. Has anyone else had difficulties with this? Any suggestions as to how to deal with this?
thanks & I'm looking forward to participating on the board.
