I think people get so wrapped up in "how much money" that they never think about the spouse and their worries...and while we may think we are listening they may not believe you are thinking beyond "I grt to quit working ".

When my wife and I first discussed my retirement seriously she had reservations....and good ones too. So we set a time, adjusted and addressed our budget. But thanks to the company I worked for having issues finding my replacement it came a year later than I wanted to.
