Can we RETIRE together?? 7 conversations every RETIRED couple needs to have!
About this episode
Maureen Dobranski discusses seven essential conversations that retired couples should have to ensure a happy retirement together.
Retirement sounds wonderful—but have you talked about what everyday life will actually look like when you’re both home together? After more than 40 years of marriage, I’ve learned that retiring together can change far more than your schedule. Suddenly, you may be sharing your time, your space, your money—and even the household jobs—in completely new ways. In this video, I’m sharing seven important conversations every couple should have before retirement. Some are practical, some are uncomfortable, and a few may be conversations you’ve been avoiding. But talking about them now could make your retirement—and your relationship—much happier. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction 1:18 Who is in charge of the jobs? 2:51 How much togetherness is too much? 4:05 What about money? 5:31 How will you divide the household tasks? 7:40 What are your retirement goals? 8:54 Have you talked about death? 9:49 What do you want your legacy to be? Which of these conversations have you already had—and which one do you still need to have? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
