"Comfortably stuck" describes us very well too. We have everything we need (and most all the wants) so now we just keep to the grind for the next 30 years, even if it feels like the stress of life is slowly eroding us away. Not sure what we'll do in 10 years when the boys fly the coop but we've talked about me finding a fully remote job and living on the road most of the year. That's a bit of a stretch goal with a LOT of variables, but something we're keeping in mind as a future "want".

Julie and I talked about getting a motorhome and traveling the country, not telling the kids where we are, so they can't drop by. LOL!

Jamie and I seem to fare really well in small spaces over long periods of time. During summer vacation we're typically not more than a few feet away through the whole trip

I don't mind being really close to my wife, but I think I am the one who annoys her..

True Chad and we know which buttons to push. The trick is to never push the kill switch that totally breaks the relationship.
