Same Marriage, Different Retirement: Are You And Your Spouse On The Same Retirement Page?

Imagine you've been married for 30 years.You've raised the kids. Built careers. Paid the mortgage. Saved in your 401(k)s.And for decades you've both said the same thing:‘Someday we'll retire.’Great.But here's my question:Have you ever actually asked each other what retirement means?”“Maybe his retirement is a 40-foot motorhome and six months traveling around the country.Her retirement is grandchildren, gardening and never sleeping anywhere that doesn't have room service.He thinks they're moving to Florida.She's already told the kids they'll have to carry her out of the current house.She wants three international trips a year.He's excited that he'll finally have enough time to reorganize the garage.Financially, they're completely prepared for retirement.There's just one problem:They've prepared for two completely different retirements.”
