Back in 2021, my wife was passed over for military promotion for around the 7th time.  This is actually normal, as you have to put in the years to climb the ladder.  Nonetheless, it was demoralizing.  It felt like it was time to give up and live off of the military pension, savings, rental properties, and my side hustles of blogging, dog sitting, and some other stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Then, she got promoted, and things got easier.  She loved her new job and was happy to work there.  Now that President Musk and his goons are running around destroying the government, things are very different.  Their goal is to make the government a toxic workplace.  They aren\u2019t even trying to make it a secret.<\/p>\n<p>It reminds me of this Seinfeld episode, but trying to get everyone out of work:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"George Refuses To Leave His Job | The Voice | Seinfeld\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uTea6YzbBBM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The irony is that George was not doing any work.  There\u2019s an impression that this isn\u2019t happening with government workers, but it couldn\u2019t be more wrong.  In my experience, they do 3x the work of the private sector with 1\/2 the resources.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question is real, let\u2019s dig into:<\/p>\n<h2>Can My Wife Retire?<\/h2>\n<p>The short answer answer is \u201cYES!\u201d  That was the answer in 2021, so it\u2019s not surprising that it hasn\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n<p>The more important question is, \u201cCan We Live the Same Life if My Retires?\u201d  When experts do their retirement calculations, they almost always base it on your current lifestyle.  They don\u2019t factor in a bare-bones eating-cat-food-to-survive situation.<\/p>\n<p>When I started this blog in 2006, it was with the idea that I\u2019d explore ideas on how I could retire early.  My main motivation was that my wife would be eligible for her military pension at age 44.  I didn\u2019t want to have to work another 21 years after her.<\/p>\n<p>Life takes a lot of turns in nearly 20 years.  I transitioned from my software engineering career to self-employment more than 15 years ago.  Our entire financial dynamic has changed greatly since we only started dating when I started this blog.  At age 49, we\u2019re now 5 years past the finish line of that original goal.  We\u2019ve added liabilities in that time.  They are commonly called \u201cchildren.\u201d  That has required some changes along the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Can We Live the Same Life if My Retires?<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve always claimed that retiring early is about cash flow.  Traditionally, people create a big nest and spend it down over time.  I never liked the idea of having a \u201cburn rate.\u201d  When I started my career as a software engineer around 2000, that term was used to describe a lot of internet companies. It didn\u2019t end well for almost all of them (RIP: Pets.com sock puppet).<\/p>\n<p>We have a big nest egg, but most of the money is in retirement accounts that we can\u2019t easily access for another 11 years when we are 59.5. There are some ways we can get at the money, which is worth exploring, but I\u2019ll save that for another day.<\/p>\n<p>So, getting back to cash flow, the idea is to have more income than expenses.  If that works out, then we can almost confidently say, \u201cMy Wife Can Retire, and we can live the same life.\u201d It\u2019s almost impossible to guarantee either income or expenses.  Things change over time.  I\u2019ve seen my blogging income fade away while my dog boarding income has grown.  We can overestimate expenses and underestimate income to create a margin of safety.<\/p>\n<h2>Expenses<\/h2>\n<p>Four years ago, I wrote an article that details <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/our-next-5-years-of-expenses\/\" rel=\"noopener\">our expenses for the next five years<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We have two big financial events coming up in 2-3 years.  My kids go to a private school now, but they\u2019ll be moving on to public high school (I hope) in 3 years.  We get a military discount that makes it half-price.  However, we have two kids.  Five years ago, it was around $25,000.  Now, they have moved up to middle school, which is more expensive.  Inflation has been tough as well.  The price now is around $37,000 a year.  Summer camps are close to around $6,000.  Add in some after-school stuff, and I\u2019ll round this up to $45,000.<\/p>\n<p>My wife wants to do a private high school for them, but I don\u2019t see a way to make it work.  It\u2019s much more expensive, and we won\u2019t get any military discount if my wife retires.  They\u2019d have to get some kind of merit scholarship, I imagine.  My town is building a new public high school, so I believe we should send them there.  We\u2019re already paying for it through our property taxes.  So this annual expanse of around $40,000 should go away.  I\u2019m expecting that camps could get cheaper because maybe they\u2019ll get jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Our house has a little more than two years left on the mortgage.  That\u2019s about $35,000 per year that will go away.  Phew, dropping $75,000 in expenses is going to feel good.  We have a rental property that will be paid off in around two years, too.  That\u2019s income, but it\u2019s part of the two big financial events.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just going to estimate our other expenses using the old table.  I could look up the numbers, but I\u2019m going to be \u201cLazy\u201d on this one.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Transportation<\/b> \u2013 I had transportation at $3000 because we had our cars paid off.  Now we have repair bills, and it\u2019s probably closer to $8,000 \u2013 ouch!  Our cars are 10-12 years old, so we\u2019ll need new ones \u2013 perhaps when the mortgage is paid off.<\/li>\n<li><b>Food<\/b> \u2013 I had $16,000 in 2021, with half being groceries and half being restaurants.  I\u2019ll keep this at $16,000.  There\u2019s more inflation now, but we eat out less, and I\u2019m on <a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/how-to-get-cheap-generic-glp-1s-ozempic-wegovy-zepbound\/\">a cheap generic GLP-1<\/a> so I don\u2019t eat as much.<\/li>\n<li><b>Healthcare<\/b> \u2013 I had this at $1000, but let\u2019s bump it up to $3000 to account for the above GLP-1 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/cost-to-grow-hair\/\">costs to regrow hair<\/a>.  I don\u2019t know what our healthcare plan will cost when my wife retires, but typically TriCARE for Life is cheap.<\/li>\n<li><b>Misc<\/b> \u2013 I added another $15,000 for this area that can cover a bunch of basic stuff that I forgot.  My wife writes the landscaping check, for example.  I\u2019ll bump this up to $20,000 now due to inflation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Housing and education at at $80,000.  The other four areas above add up to $47,000.  In the spirit of rounding up, let\u2019s call it $130,000.  Phew, we are spending a lot of money, and it\u2019s not counting the money we are spending on vacations or fixing up the house.<\/p>\n<p>In three years, that drops to around $65,000, which is a much more manageable number.  My side hustles can almost pay for that.<\/p>\n<h2>Income<\/h2>\n<p>Just like our expenses will drop a lot in 2-3 years, our income will jump at about the same time. I mentioned the rental properties above, and it seems like we should expect around $20,000 in income from them.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what the rest of our income looks like:<\/p>\n<h3>Income from my Work<\/h3>\n<p>I have this blog, dog sitting, some regular freelance work, and equity ownership in a small company that pays out monthly profit-sharing checks. The combination of these is about $80,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t count on any money from the blog going forward.  The dog boarding income seems to be steady and resilient as long as there isn\u2019t another COVID.  The small company is still chugging along, but I get the feeling that I shouldn\u2019t rely on it forever.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to assume that I can make at least $40,000 from some set of businesses that I don\u2019t have to work too hard at.<\/p>\n<h3>Income from my Wife<\/h3>\n<p>My wife\u2019s military pension looks like it\u2019s $110,000 if she retires now.  It\u2019s a fairly straightforward calculation, given her rank and years of service.  This was a lot more than I expected.  I just ran it through ChatGPT, and it confirmed that my calculations are accurate.<\/p>\n<p>My wife could do other things to make an income in addition to that pension.  However, she\u2019s going to take a well-deserved break for as long as she damn well pleases \u2013 LOL.  I support that 100%.  However, I feel that at some point, she\u2019ll want to do something.  She\u2019s been toying with writing a book.  I won\u2019t expect anything other than the pension.<\/p>\n<p>There are some expenses for pension insurance (if she dies, the pension will be transferred to me).  So, realistically, it would probably be closer to $90,000<\/p>\n<p>Combined, my wife and I would make $130,000 a year in the long term.  Her pension is indexed for inflation, so we wouldn\u2019t have to work about that.  In the short term, we\u2019d make $170,000 since my side hustles are still making $80,000.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Cash Flow Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>It looks like my wife can retire, and we can live much of the same life.  The numbers are very close, though.  We\u2019ll spend about $130,000 for the next three years and make around $170,000.  We have to account for taxes, so it\u2019s probably going to be very close.<\/p>\n<p>After three years, our expenses drop to around $65,000, and we\u2019ll be up to around $190,000 with the rental properties.  That would give us a lot of extra money \u2013 at least until the kids go to college.  We have my wife\u2019s GI bill and some savings to help with that.  I\u2019m hoping they get some scholarships since we are paying so much to build a strong foundation now.<\/p>\n<h2>The Big Nest Egg<\/h2>\n<p>At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that, ideally, our income would cover our expenses, and we could even maintain our cash flow.<\/p>\n<p>We have investments that we can tap into.  One regular brokerage account makes about $7,000 in dividends a year.  We\u2019re reinvesting them now, but maybe we can use that cash if she retires.  We could also draw down the account using the 4% rule to extend that to $10,000.<\/p>\n<p>Our retirement accounts have enough money where we could withdraw 4% of $75,000 of annual income.  Once again, I\u2019m too Lazy to calculate what the early withdrawal penalties would be if we tapped into it now.  We don\u2019t plan on doing that, so I\u2019m not going to consider that scenario.  More likely, we\u2019ll get to 59.5 in 11 years and start withdrawing then.  My math estimates that we\u2019d be able to withdraw $150,000 using the 4% rule because it should continue to compound.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Things are moving along nicely.  When I did this exercise four years ago, everything seemed to be close.  It\u2019s still a little close, but my wife\u2019s pension went up a lot when she made O-6.  That\u2019s helped offset a lot of the inflation.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure you noticed that a lot of this is an estimation.  I might get more serious with specific numbers as President Musk continues to clear out the government and forces my wife to make a decision.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\"\n xmlns:dc=\"http:\/\/purl.org\/dc\/elements\/1.1\/\"\n xmlns:trackback=\"http:\/\/madskills.com\/public\/xml\/rss\/module\/trackback\/\"> <rdf:Description rdf:about=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/can-my-wife-retire-2025-edition\/\"\n dc:identifier=\"https:\/\/www.lazymanandmoney.com\/can-my-wife-retire-2025-edition\/\"\n dc:title=\"Can My Wife Retire?
