My man loves his job (and golfing). He will work until the man is 60 (or not) because he loves his patients and what he does. The good news is that we have the option. One spouse must have an eye on the ball, in my household that is me. I can only dream of being able to keep my expenses in your range! In our favor is the low cost of living location, low burnout specialty, and not keeping up with the Jones for house and car. But if we needed to cut some of our luxuries (private school, country club, eating at nice restaurants), it may be difficult.
