Couple Retirement Planning: Why One Number Will Fail You Both

Listen on Buzzsprout

Two lives, one retirement plan — and that’s exactly where high-net-worth couples go wrong. If you and your spouse are treating your retirement as a single financial event, you may be leaving serious money on the table or walking into a tax nightmare you never saw coming.

In this episode, we break down why using one combined number in your retirement planning is a costly oversimplification — especially when you have $1 million or more in investable assets. From staggered retirement dates and Social Security timing to healthcare costs and wealth management strategies that work for two distinct financial lives, we cover what fiduciary, fee-based financial planning actually looks like for couples navigating this transition.

Whether you’re five years out or already retired, this conversation will change how you think about your shared financial future.
