Feel like you have a full plate and not enough time (or money!) to plan for retirement? Learn step by step how you two can rock retirement and still have fun now! Real Retirement Planning for Real Life Gotta love analytics. You all that data floating about. Once a week I look over things including what people searching when they discover Couple Money. And you know what I found? Believe or not, I noticed pretty much every day people discover my site with some variation of this one question. How much do we need to retire? It's a big question for sure, but I don't think it's the right question. At least not to start with. As you probably discovered with that first question I asked, retirement can be completely different things to everyone. And sometimes you two can have differing opinions. So how do you figure what you need to do? You have to look at it at two different angles. Of course, there's the technical part with the specific investments in your portfolio. But you before you do that you need a game plan. One that is robust and at the same time, can adjust as your life changes. Which is why I brought the Retirement Answer Man himself - Roger Whitney!
