It has been a great 2 years (FIREd at age 52 from being a school principal). My wife continues to w@#k while I play househusband. I do all of the shopping, cooking, laundry, housework while she continues her teaching career.
I get up with her every morning, make her lunch, and send her off to w@#k. My mornings are usually house stuff, go to the gym, keep up on financial news. Some days, go to the golf course, gun range. or read. I also volunteer, assisting some elderly neighbors; drive them places, yard work, minor repairs. Next week I begin a law enforcement training to become a part of my local sheriff volunteer posse.
Travel- many trips solo or with the wife. Puerto Vallarta 6x, Cabo, Playa Del Carmen, Wisconsin
Money- between my wife's salary and my pension, we are still stashing money away. Everything looks good there with the giant variable of health insurance down the road.
Health- No stress, better sleep, more exercise. What could be better?
Wife wants to work a couple of more years- who am I to stop her!? (She already has 30 years in)
FIRE is great
