I posted earlier, but did not elaborate…

I have several reasons for not retiring now:

I was a SAHM for 10+ years so I have already had a break from the outside work world. And for me it reinforced the fact that I do enjoy the business world.

H’s job is well paid, 40 hours/week, low stress. Mine is sometimes more hours, both are flexible. We both have generous leave policies and health benefits are good. I don’t want to have to pay a lot for medical insurance right now if I don’t have to.

We will eventually relocate/downsize but will wait to see where the kids end up. We hope to eventually have at least one grandchild, but that’s not going to be soon.

FIL retired early which seemed like a good decision at the time, but now MIL is widowed and concerned about money. We may need to help her out (I am happy to do so).
-H needs to find some hobbies/something to do in retirement.
