Can your husband work from TV?
Maybe go to the office once a month for a couple days? His expense.
The company I worked for would make work adjustments like this if the job could be done. Might ask his boss if something can be worked out.
There are corporation registration and other problems that may have to be considered if he is the first FL employee.

A lot can happen in 3 years. Why not continue to reevaluate your plan, crunch numbers, and carefully consider if the plan is still viable when you're on the cusp of reaching 62. That is still a young age at which to retire, but if you're able to do it, God bless you. Only you know your financial, relationship, and health circumstances that play into this decision.

But nanei....she ASKED for our opinions and our judgement.


I say generally, it is better to be over prepared financially than to live on a wing and a prayer.

well....she asked for opinions, not judgement....and she was asking for opinions from others who had similar experiences of one spouse retiring before another.....thankfully, it appears there are some who were able to address her concerns because they share her demographics

Good advice, maybe, but the manner in which it was given was not very good. There's a much nicer way to put that advice.

To the OP, it does seem like a good idea for you to work three years longer so things won't be so tight.
