That’s exciting and merits some good planning, which gets me excited about what I do with my clients. A scarier thought is that HALF of your time with your spouse could be DURING your retirement years. Your only halfway there when you retire. Yikes! It was one thing when you were working and busy with the kids. It’s totally another thing when i...t’s primarily you and your spouse 24x7. It might be scary, but it COULD be really good.
