Hello all,
I recently retired in my late 40s after reaching FI. Long story short, I have a passive business that covers my bills and approximately $ 2 million saved.
Now, my dilemma. My wife does not want to retire; she thinks we're too young. If she knew that I only work less than 10 hours a week she would go nuts! She'd be jealous and...trust me, it wouldn't be nice. On my end, I do not see the point when I have more than I need.
So, I am secretly retired. I leave work and pretend to go to work. I usually go to the gym, the museums, walk around, and see friends. I also come home early and just relax (sometimes I'm home by 2pm) but when she gets home at 6pm I do one those "I just got home myself". (our daughter is in college so no one else is home).
Anyone else in this situation? I'm not complaining, but I do somewhat feel guilty.
