is when there's a power dynamic that's behind that too.

So if someone's been the primary saver, not even earner, because it's not even about the earned money, I'm talking about the person who sees themselves as more fiscally responsible.

there is an easy power dynamic that can exist, which is borderline righteous, which can be like, I'm the saver, you're the spender.

And it can be flirty and fun at first between a couple, but it can also lead to a deep resentment on both sides.

So someone who's a saver can be like, what my goals are, are not important to you because you will not save with me.

And the person who's the spender is like, you're insufferable.

That dynamic exists throughout, not just in retirement.

What I think the interesting part about that dynamic in retirement specifically that I have seen play out negatively, which is not most people, but something that I would say happens, is if there's a sense of, well, I got us here, I know what's best, I'm right.

Because now that you have to take money out of the portfolio, right?

Again, going back to what we were just talking about, it's like a new fear in the relationship.

This is a new thing, like having a kid.

And so we're learning about each other as a couple and you're like, oh, I don't think I knew that about you.

And there can be the sense that the person who built the portfolio gets the say in how it's spent.

So if that person who built the portfolio wants to spend all the money in the next 10 years or a lot of it on...

travel, they're probably going to think that they are due that and that that is their decision to make.

And the other person just has to deal with it because they got them here or vice versa.

That person doesn't want to spend any money.

And then the other person feels like, well, what have we been saving for?

It comes down to the scenario planning that we can do as advisors to show all the different ways that it can go right and all the different...

Ways that even if you do this, then it's okay.
