Dh pulled up the retirement planning numbers tonight. He's looking at around 60 - in 10-11 years. At that point pension (for which I am deeply grateful!) and soc sec (which I feel a little uncertain about depending on) are forecast to be slightly above his current take home. We also have savings and an hsa. The third child should be financially independent. (the first two are already and one closes on her first house in sept!)
i will probably keep working because I'm a couple years younger and I love my job (I make about 10% of his salary). He says if I work he'll cook dinner every night! I may never "retire". However, if the oldest has a baby I have offered to quit and become free daycare. (Better job!)
That offer is not limited to the oldest, it is limited to geographic area. Currently she's the only child in the geographic area with a sex life that might lead to offspring. Heart daughter turned me down when her son was too young for school, but I do watch him sometimes.
technically, that would not only leave me on the hook for dinner, it might push his retirement out a year. I'm not sure if I should bring that up at this point.
