Very open discussion, I'm 56 and retired and very active my wife is 41 and working full time and loving her job. So, for me I do heaps of activities every day and we travel when she gets leave. So, I’m feeling fulfilled in retirement and still travelling when we can and my wife enjoys her life working. The other thing is I maintain and do 95% of the household duties. So that way when my wife gets home from work tired etc, we can relax together rather than doing chores. This has avoided the risk of been jealous because I am retired. She sees the benefits of relaxing once she gets home and the fact, I am happier.
Thanks guys lots of useful and relevant information to my particular case. Its great how you intergrate the non financial issues and choices and it isnt just about having lots of money sheltered in Super
Hey i understand the in theory benefit of transferring or loading up the super of the young person as it keeps it away from the asset test of older person. But if the young person is still working wont u miss out on the pension anyway due to that?

I'm trying to sell this to the partner in similar circumstances. Will accept me retiring at 60 but not earlier at the moment :)
Sounds like that is working really well, a great partnership.

Thanks for your feedback, life is more than $$. Not saying is doesn’t help provide choices, but wont make people happier and fulfilled in life.
