A couple of years ago, our accountant was discussing a plan for me to retire around 57. Then one morning when heading out to play golf he dropped dead. In less than two weeks, I will be 58 and still working. But I can afford to take a substantial reduction in pay next month to start a new job after nearly 38 years and my wife and I bought the building where he leased offices. While I dream of retiring early, I know my wife will put me to work for a zero dollar a year salary and ruin my plans.
