She can work as a teacher in a school. My mom is 55 years old and still teaches. I believe having a wife who is a teacher offers two significant advantages:
- Teaching jobs provide a good work-life balance.
- The retirement age for teachers in India ranges from 58 to 60 years, depending on the state.
While it is true that teachers earn less than professionals in other fields, their salaries tend to increase with experience. Additionally, if you have a child, enrolling them in the school where your wife works can result in fee concessions, alleviating concerns about school expenses.
Moreover, even if you lose your job or have EMIs to pay, you will at least have one stable source of income from your wife's salary, even as you approach your 50s.
