Just wondering how those with younger spouses are dealing with early retirement or the thought thereof. My goal is to hopefully retire at 50 - I am currently 36 - and so far I am on track. My gf is 9 years younger than me and she supports this goal. When I am 50, she would of course be 41 and would keep working. For others in the same boat, has this created resentment from your partner? My thoughts are that if i work say 30 years, then it would seem fair to have my partner work at least the same or more if they actually enjoyed what they were doing. My gf has indicated she would have no desire to retire at that age, but I worry that down the road as I pursue other things in my retirement while she is at work that this might create a problem. How have others dealt with this?
