How much would your wife have to make in a highly stable career for you to say frick it, I'm not going to work anymore, I'll do light housework and raise the kids.

I could do it now without her working, kids are gone too!

She'd have to make more than what I make now. So about $400k a year.

If you're a multimillionaire and your wife likes her career, why not. Drive your McLaren to pick your kid up at school.
Being wealthy enough to retire and frick off isn't beta, it's VHS.

My dad retired this year and my mom hasn't yet. Currently my mom is at work and my dad is hanging out with friends in San Diego.

I'd be a stay at home dad in second. I already love to cook and work on the house and cars. Replace the hassle of a job I don't like, with hauling the kids around. Seems pretty sweet to me.

"Being a mother is the most difficult job on the planet". Really? Being a mother is the most difficult job on the planet? Oh yeah, all those mothers who die every year from black lung, from inhaling all that coal dust. Dude, women are just constantly patting themselves on the back about how difficult their lives are, and nobody corrects them because they wanna frick 'em. That's what it is. So there's just this tornado of misinformation swirling around their head.
What would you rather be doing? Drilling to the center of the Earth, shaking hands with the devil... everytime there's a rumble in the ground you're waiting for the whole thing to collapse down on top of you.. so they can write that folk song about you. You know? Or would you rather be up in the sunshine running around with a couple of toddlers that you can send to bed whenever you want... on some sort of trumped up charges.. so that you can have a drink and watch the Price is Right.
I couldn't believe it. "It's the most difficult job on the planet". Oh really? I thought roofing in the middle of July as a red head.. I thought that was difficult. But these mothers are bending over at the waist putting DVD's in the DVD player. I don't know how they do it! I don't know how they do it.
Dude, any job that you can do in your pajamas is not a difficult job. Alright? Give me a break! Jesus Christ, you're 35 years old playing hide and go seek... you're living the dream! You're living the dream. No time card, no taxes... you're off the fricking grid! Making popsicle stick houses... I mean...
"It's the most difficult job on the planet!" Unbelievable.

Either way not a problem I'll ever have. My wife does well but she makes a little over half what I do. She also only works about 35 hrs per week

I did it for a year. I retired at age 50 from a LEO career. Wife still working.
She drive me nuts. I had to do everything, including hauling her mother back and forth to medical appointments.
I said screw it and started a new career five months ago. I'm happy with my decision. I'll get two retirements in a few years.

110k since OT says 100k isn't enough
Posted on 7/25/17 at 6:35 pm to deeprig9
I could do 150k. Golf, gym, snowboard, boat. That would be my life
Posted on 7/25/17 at 6:40 pm to deeprig9
I'd be a house husband, i.e. Workout, swim and chill all day with some shite around the house and take care of kids if theyre over 6, but not if they're younger. She'd need to make about 150k and that ain't happening. 
Posted on 7/25/17 at 6:44 pm to deeprig9
Are kids in school all day or are there little ones still at home? My answer would probably vary significantly based on this.
Posted on 7/25/17 at 7:08 pm to deeprig9
Good chance I'll do that eventually. My wife is gonna make bank soon.
It ain't called work for no reason
