I'm getting the impression that you and your spouse might not be on the same page here. If you are spending 300K a year now things might not drop that much when you do retire. This is just a comment about your house, 7500 for 4 people and dogs is crazy large in the minds of a lot of people. Just think of the furnishings you need for a home that large.
Since your DW isn't up and in the trenches every day like you are, she might not really wants her daily life to change. I suggest the 2 of you have a serious heart-to-heart about the whole process. In my mind a SAMS with an empty nest is retired in place.
