I hear ya about him not wanting to retire. My husband is the same. He'd probably go nuts and take me with him!
I think that's fairly common with self employed people. One of the reasons we're thinking about buying a smaller house with more land is so he can have more cars and motorcycles and have something to do working on them. Mostly so he won't bug me
