[QUOTE="9397SVTs, post: 16636178, member: 143297"] My wife would never TELL me to retire. We discuss our future and how each of us plan on contributing to it. We have a plan in place and we are working that plan. As the head of our household, I lead this effort. To me, quitting a job and retiring are two very different things. Retiring implies a pension and benefits. Quitting implies no longer earning pay and benefits. I don't know who the current bread winner is, but quitting a full time job will ultimately change the dynamics of the household. There are always exceptions, but a man who is not the provider of the household is viewed/treated differently by the wife than a man who is. It can also affect how the man views/feels about himself. Maybe I'm old school/traditional, but I could not be a kept man, receiving an allowance from my wife. [/QUOTE]
