if you are conservative in retirement you will initially only be taking out 4% per year from your $3million so, yeah, that’s potentially the difference between living on $120,000 a year or $140,000 a year. I know which I would prefer.

Based on a 20 year life expectancy at age 65, the difference in your standard of living will be $20,000 a year.

This isn’t about taxes or wife’s current hotness or kids. This is about a spender being married to a saver. Either one or both of you change your view of spending/saving or both of you will be miserable until the inevitable divorce.
Having tried to change a spender for 15+ years, I can state. It’s near impossible to change a spender so I suggest the OP either divorce or accept living paycheck to paycheck with growing credit card debt because the spending won’t stop at buying the house. And once you’re broke, she’ll likely divorce you anyway- expect that during the next airline downturn.

Yep. Can’t count how many times I’ve listened to this same tale of woe from middle aged first officers. Danger Will Robinson!!!
