I've been working 60 to 80 hours a week for the last 20 years and hit the wall about 2 years ago. I have been trying to convince my wife of the rewards of early semiretirement (Stolen from Bob Clyatt's book). I have maxed the 401k for 11 years, funded the 529 to cov(er the kids college, and my other investments could pay off the house in 3 to 5 years. I am now 42 and would need to work to cover living expenses until 59 1/2. But I could cut back to 20 to 30 hours per week(Work Less, Live More). I just can't get my wife to buy in to the concept. I could quit altogether if we downsized the house and invested the equity, but I think my health(mental and physical) would improve enough with a reasonalble work schedule. It would require that we budget our money(which my wife refuses to do now)and reign in our lifestyle(which is not extravagant, but we currently spend as we wish without going into debt). I have made a mindset transition from the pursuit of STUFF to the pursuit of time, and I can't get the wife to understand. Any advice or resources?
