Financial planning for retirement isn’t difficult. All you need is a system that works.

“Each money decision you make impacts financial wellness.” (The Barnum Financial Group)

One of the barricades to financial wellness can be found in couples relations. The husband and the wife may not agree on financial matters. Unhealthy financial behaviors can thus be the result of family tensions. One recent study examined the effectiveness of the combined efforts of a financial planner and a family therapist working together. These professionals worked with couples experiencing financial and relational distress.

Our point here is that when planning for retirement, one need not overlook the integration of a family counselor in helping to ease tensions.

Other considerations that affect future retirees include age, gender, and health. A recent report from the National Institute for Retirement Security (NIRS) showed that women lag behind men, when it comes to median household retirement income.

“Women aged 65 or older have a median household retirement income of $47,244, only 83% of their male counterparts, who live in households with a median retirement income of $57,144, including Social Security, pensions, investment income and earnings.“ (NIRS Online)
