Wife Calls Me 'Loser' After Early Retirement Success 😤

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here and need some perspective 😔 I'm 41 and achieved FIRE last year - $2M liquid, plus $75k annual royalties from a business I sold. My wife still teaches (great for healthcare), but she's calling me a 'loser' for how I spend my retirement days. During winter months when she's working, I honestly just game and relax at home. I mean, I worked my butt off for 15 years in a high-stress career to get here! 🎮 I handle all the cooking, cleaning, and we take amazing vacations every summer. She thinks I'm 'too old' for this lifestyle, but isn't this what early retirement is supposed to be about? The freedom to do what you want? I'm making $125k annually from investments alone - double her teaching salary. Am I wrong for wanting to just chill after achieving financial independence? How do I handle this judgment? 😕 #JobCareer #EarlyRetirement #FIRE
