Why it doesn’t work
When the designated age hits, you and/or your partner could be at all sorts of stages in your career. Maybe yours just isn’t taking off, and you’re ready to pack up and head for the green hills. Meanwhile, your partner’s career is just beginning to take off. Sure she hasn’t “made it,” based on the terms of your pact, but making it is around the corner. She won’t want to pack up and leave now. Things will never be as simple as, “Well. Neither of our careers made any progress in a decade so let’s bail.”
