What if the biggest retirement risk for couples isn’t the market—but silence at the dinner table? On this episode of the Retirement Referee Podcast, Brooks Burnhagen breaks down why treating money as a “one‑person job” creates stress, imbalance, and confusion when life throws a curveball. He explains how shared goals, short money conversations, and clear role‑sharing can keep both partners informed and involved. From saver‑spender tension to values‑based planning, this conversation reframes financial disagreements as alignment issues—not math problems—and shows how couples can stay on the same page through every stage of retirement.

Listen to Brooks every Saturday at 7 a.m. on KOTA.
