Last month my husband found out he is no longer working. We were working at the same company, now only I am working there. (somewhat awkward) I won't go into the specifics but it was not a voluntary leave and it was not something we had planned. We had planned for us both to work another couple of years. So now, all of a sudden, he is retired, since he doesn't want the task of finding another job at his age - 60.
I find myself going back and forth between being happy for him that he doesn't have to go to the crappy job he hated any longer and being just a little resentful that I still have to work. Have any of you had a similar situation? How did you handle it?
We are doing ok financially with my salary and I need to stay at the company at least another year in order to transfer my medical benefits over when I do retire.
I guess that just goes to show you, that even in retirement planning, the best laid plans . . . . . . . .don't always work out.
