DW and I both have hard-driving career positions - the kind with no "off" hours. I'm 4 years older and looking at starting to dial it back to PT in a year.
At that point she'll be in her early 50s and in the prime of her career. In her field people often w*rk into their 60s, which is highly uncommon in my field. I will basically be forced into a PT, lower-paying gig after next Fall.
So, for a few years I'll be working 20 hours a week as a greeter at W-Mart (or whatever) and she'll still be pushing hard every day
I have a wide range of hobbies and can't wait to go PT - after 40 years of busting my a** I'm ready to fish, golf, read, exercise, etc.
We have one child, who is FI and out of the house, no GC (yet).
Obviously, I'll be doing the cleaning and laundry and cooking and trying to make her life easier - but what issues will come up with one of my relaxing and one of us still slugging it out in the w*rkforce?
Appreciate any tips and thoughts.
