Most Couples Disagree on Retirement

USA Today had an article recently on a new study showing that 80% of couples disagree on retirement, such as what age to retire, whether they'll work in retirement or where they'll move to retire.

After all, only 15% of people said they were confident one partner could handle family finances if the other died.
The piece also gives some basic steps you can take when beginning to talk about retirement with your honey. Check it out.
