He only has 11 more years he plans on working. He agreed to pay spousal support until he retires. Then I get 1/6 of that rertirement, too. In theory social security will kick in some time around then. (Not counting on that, tho...)
I get half the military retirement. The money we are calling equity in our house is the down payment, so we don't have to worry about that for capital gains.
I know to never say never, but my H is in a key position where he works. I can't see him changing what he is doing. He has a sweet deal with a boss who really appreciates him, and a bunch of other people who depend on him. When ever the boss goes out of town, my H is in charge, even though technically other people should be.
I was running the tax numbers and trying to figure it all out. I need more time in my day!
But I think it will all work out.
