The essential retirement planning book, including the ten key conversations couples should have to create a happy, healthy, and successful retirement!

Retirement can be the best time of your life, but for couples, there's far more to it than cashing in on your 401(k). The most important asset you have during retirement is each other, yet many couples aren't sure where to begin or how to plan for retirement. The Couple's Retirement Puzzle reveals the ten key conversations couples should tackle before retirement to ensure a rewarding second half of life together, including:

Do we have enough money to support the lifestyle we want?
Should we retire simultaneously or separately?
Do we stay put or explore new frontiers?
How will we balance time together and time apart?
And more!

Filled with smart practical advice, engaging anecdotes, and helpful exercises, The Couple's Retirement Puzzle is a marriage book for couples that will guide you and your partner to a fulfilling, happy retirement you can enjoy and celebrate together.

The book was okay, but I didn't really pick up anything new that I hadn't already learned from other retirement books or magazines articles.

useful advice for retirement planning
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
I acquired this book because my wife and I are talking about retirement and not getting very far. I will ask her to read it because it does have some good suggestions, and offers a structure for conversation. I think it tends to favor solutions that are politically liberal and more suited for educated professionals. The prose flows smoothly but its readability relies on extensive use of cliches. I did not think it was profound

Well laid out, not boring
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014
Retirement is something couples look forward to long before it arrives. But often after retirement arrives the couples find themselves in situations that they didn’t anticipate. Retirement isn’t just about quitting your job. It is about a complete lifestyle change. This book will take couples looking at retirement through 10 questions that will start conversations and help prepare the couples for what is ahead.
I was impressed with the depth and thought put into the questions and presentation of this book. The questions are all across the board and are about topics such as financial, health, family, new hobbies, and downsizing. Each chapter begins with a story that illustrates the question that will be discussed. The chapter is then filled with stories, advice, and thoughts surrounding the question. Each chapter ends with a special section designed to make the chapter more personal. It starts with “talking it out”, has several exercises, and ends with a puzzle piece and fun work. While I am quite a few years from retirement, I enjoyed reading the book and learned a lot. I will be keeping this book for the future and think everyone nearing retirement should read it.

I received this book free of charge from Goodreads in exchange for my honest review.
