All good now, but I think I lucked out having a patient wife.
I agree with this. Not sure about the economy part, however.
I would say that the mandatory retirements will make this career a lot less tumultuous. There will be more movement, and seniority to have (which will improve QOL) Plus, it will minimize chances of furlough, which is a major stressor on any marriage.
