How a Spousal IRA Creates Retirement Security for Non-Working Spouses
from Estate Planning with Fexingo: Wills, Trusts, and Passing Wealth to Future Generations · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the Spousal IRA—a powerful but often overlooked tool that allows a non-working spouse to build retirement savings. They walk through the mechanics: how a working spouse can contribute to an IRA in their partner's name, the income limits for 2025, and why this matters for stay-at-home parents or part-time workers. Using a concrete example of a family with one high earner and one spouse who stepped out of the workforce, they show how even modest contributions can compound into six figures over time. They also discuss the difference between traditional and Roth Spousal IRAs, the phase-out ranges for deductions, and common mistakes like missing the deadline or forgetting to file jointly. This episode is perfect for couples looking to maximize retirement savings and ensure both partners have financial independence in their golden years. #SpousalIRA #RetirementPlanning #NonWorkingSpouse #IRA #RothIRA #TraditionalIRA #TaxPlanning #CompoundInterest #StayAtHomeParent #FinancialIndependence #RetirementSavings #MarriageFinance #WealthBuilding #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EstatePlanning Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
