Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I doubt my spouse will retire for at least another decade.
Low-paying job (private school teacher) but she loves it.

That is exactly what we do... We have spent 60+ days camping some place this year. Most of the guys on this trip camped with us at our Daughter's wedding on the 22nd. 2 of them actually jumped in and helped me walk her down the aisle, and stood there to help give her away... Got a great laugh from the crowd.
Unfortunately our camper is down due to a stuck slide out, Made for a tight time at the wedding for 6 days, and now in the shop till parts arrive.
Anyone else have a spouse stuck in the grind? Or lived thru that for a while? At times I feel guilty about her still having to work. It also seems she complains a whole lot more to me about crap at work. She currently qualifies for a reduced pension with insurance, but only about 25% of what its would be in about 5 years. We just can't take that kind of hit. At 54/59 we are doing better than we ever had dreamed.
LMAO.... She wouldn't let me do laundry for many years.... When we first met most of my whites where pinkish do to my roommate putting bleach and a new red sweatshirt in with the wash.I handle most of the stuff around the house except the laundry. She won't let me do that.

No I'm saying does your spouse get time for solo adventures with her friends like you do?
What happens if she retires? Bottom line does your wife want to work? If money wasn't a factor than would she be working?
You could go back to work...just sayin'.
We’re both retired now, and about 3x FI due to her working longer, so there was an upside.

Her date is tied to state pension rules.
Same here with the Wife. Needs 30 years or be 60 or its reduced benefits..
Ah--the golden handcuffs!
could have retired at 54 with 30 years, but needed age 60 for specific retiree medical
