struggling with my retirement plan
My DH will retire (going on LTD) in August. He just turned 62 and has EOA. He is in the mild/early moderate stage. I am 59 1/2. I am struggling with retiring in January when I turn 60. I want to spend more time with him while he's still able to do things, but also don't want to give up the income/insurance/and a job I enjoy. He used to love traveling, but now expresses fear with the airline situation. He doesn't really drive anymore and has anxiety over having to urinate all the time during long car rides. I fear that we will just be sitting around the house and I will need a break and a purpose. He sleeps a lot and I will be alone more than I am now. I know that sometime in the future I will be required to be with him continuously for supervision. I have funds saved for his LTC when that is needed and financially I think we'll be ok whatever the date I decide (I will make it work). Anyone have words of wisdom or experience with this? You all are the best resource 🙂
