About this ebook
Retirement can be the best time of your life, but for couples, there's far more to it than cashing in on your 401(k). The most important asset you have during retirement is each other, yet many couples aren't sure where to begin or how to plan for retirement. The Couple's Retirement Puzzle reveals the ten key conversations couples should tackle before retirement to ensure a rewarding second half of life together, including:
- Do we have enough money to support the lifestyle we want?
- Should we retire simultaneously or separately?
- Do we stay put or explore new frontiers?
- How will we balance time together and time apart?
- And more!
Filled with smart practical advice, engaging anecdotes, and helpful exercises, The Couple's Retirement Puzzle is a marriage book for couples that will guide you and your partner to a fulfilling, happy retirement you can enjoy and celebrate together.
