My partner is 12 years older and aiming to retire at 60. Has anyone been in the same position and how did you deal with it? Retire super early or stay working while they move to Palm Springs?

Being retired gets old very quickly, my Dad’s second wife made him miserable because she was so bored.

I think we tend to underestimate medical insurance when you plan to retire early. I know lots of people that at least one person still worked for access to insurance

My FIL retired super early. MIL moved with him but is working in a job she loves. He goes to play pickle ball and lunch with the guys while she works but her job is flexible enough for her to take long vacations.

And here I am trying to retire by 45 lmao

Do you and your partner have enough $$ saved and invested to support yourselves for the next 40 years? If so, enjoy retirement. If you don't, then you and your partner should work longer, and you can keep working un a remote role when your partner retires.

At first I thought you meant a Partner at your company and I was like dang you really care about them

Hello,
London is a world class metropolitan city and so is the cost of livi.
But then why don't MAANG or other big techs pay as high for software managers and other leadership roles as they do in the USA, particularly California, Washington, New York. In fact for the same role, $ salaries are at least 3X higher to their counterparts roles here in London.
Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
