How can I get my husband to retire?

I am 51 and recently retired. My job was eliminated and the pharam company provided gracious package. My husband is 62 and Safety Director. We own a home in NJ and a larger home in PA. We custom built the PA house meet our retirement needs. The house consists of 12 acres and a barn deeply located in the country. It is much different than the surburvan development in NJ.

Here is my problem. How do I get my husband to retire? He likes the country home, yet is appalled at the salaries in the area. He commutes daily at 4am to NYC and is stressed. When we go to the country house he pays local folks to cut the grass (and he has a $29,000 John Deere tractor) and weed wack, plow the driveway, etc. Seems like he loves the house yet not the maintenance. He would much rather golf.

I adore the country. I love cutting the grass (although it isn't to his perfection). I love having horses across the street, storing their hay in my barn, bartering, and I love my country neighbors. The neighbors are the salt of the earth. The country makes the City seems like another foreign world.

He claims he needs $200 dollars in his pocket at all times. He claims he cannot do this if he retires. I have a hefty 401k, as does he and the NJ house is paid for. I will get my pension in a few years and he is already receiving a pension AND working. We have no children and take care of my Mother.

Any suggestions on how to get this man to quit working?
