Addressing the Unthinkable Before It Suddenly Addresses You
The Benefits of Financial Literacy are Many and Positively Powerful!
During my married life with Dan, we planned relentlessly for retirement. It was long before marriage equality and domestic legal partnerships. We just thought it was a good idea to set aside money. It wasn’t until we got ripped off by annuity agents and I got a cancer scare that we learned to manage our money and prepared for life without the other (the unthinkable).
Preparing for retirement is a beautiful idea. But don’t forget to include the financial literacy of your surviving spouse so she (or he) can carry on financially without you, OR all of the family’s planning and lifelong savings might be at risk.
