Struggling to get your spouse involved in retirement planning?You are not alone. Many financially-minded partners lose their spouse’s attention by jumping straight into 401(k) allocations or tax strategies. The result is glazed eyes and little engagement.This approach works differently. Start with powerful, open-ended questions that spark curiosity and connection. Ask things like “What does your perfect retirement day look like?” or “If we had to spend $150,000 this year, how would you want to use it?” These prompts bypass resistance and lead to meaningful conversations about dreams, priorities, and lifestyle.When you know whether your partner envisions constant travel or staying close to home, or whether they fear losing purpose more than running out of money, you can build a plan you both believe in. Lifestyle clarity comes first. The numbers follow naturally.Retirement planning is not just about financial optimization. It is about creating a shared vision for the years ahead with the person who matters most. Try these questions with your partner and watch the conversation shift from spreadsheets to shared dreams.Visit <a href='https://earlyretirementpodcast.com'>earlyretirementpodcast.com</a> to share your results or explore tools for building a plan that works for both of you.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
