Retirement works best when both partners are part of the conversation—not just the paperwork. In this episode of the Summit Ascent Podcast, Dustin Rudolph explores the financial conversations every couple should have before and during retirement. The discussion covers shared access to financial information, aligning goals and risk tolerance, balancing spending with legacy intentions, and planning for incapacity or the loss of a spouse. Dustin also explains why dividing financial responsibilities can create vulnerability and how ongoing communication helps couples navigate taxes, income, and long‑term planning together. It’s a practical look at why retirement planning is a team effort—and why revisiting these conversations regularly matters.
