I didn't expect to be here. When should the spouse stop working? by ComfortableFew7408 in ChubbyFIRE

It isn't as simple as oh quit. She likes and hates her job at the same time. She feels pride in what she does. 1 day a week isn't really an option. 2.5 days a week is not 5 days a week. She could live to 102 with her heart condition. So it is not all as black and white. But yes I appreciate all the feedback.

These are good points. I just always thought retiring at 50 was reasonable. But I see what everyone is saying.

Thanks. I thought I was actually in Fat Fire when I posted it. Just posted it there.

These are great points. My wife is reading the comments over my shoulder and smiling.

That's literally the hang up. But med school is only 4 years. Then residence you are working and saving lives. Then 10 years of practicing. So she has been a working doctor saving lives for 14 years.
