I feel no guilt in retiring several years earlier than I intended whilst DH continues to work.I have a smaller pension pot than him and whilst he was very lucky to inherit some money from his parents my family had very little so nothing there.And wouldn't have expected or relied on inheritance. That's a bonus. However I did work very hard for 40 years and at least twice brought the money in when DH lost his business in a recession. Then was made redundant. I walk or dogs,take care of the garden,was helping his elderly aunt before she died and my very frail mum before she went into a care home.So at the moment I don't even feel the need to look for anything.And DH was the one to encourage me to stop work and enjoy life more. Try to stop feeling guilty.Who knows what's around the corner?My SIL died of cancer before she had time to retire and relax so make the most if it and find joy in everyday simple things .I can recommend it !
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
