Couples Quiz
When it comes to retirement, making sure you and your significant other are on the same page, or at least, in the same book is important to how well you make the transition together.
This quiz is designed to help you both begin to work through some of the challenges that often hold couples back from creating the retirement life they deserve. It is important that you both complete the short assessment and we encourage you to work with a certified retirement coach to process the information and develop a "win-win" retirement plan.
The quiz is set up to identify areas in which you both see eye-to-eye as well as those factors that still need to be worked on. On the next page you will be asked to enter in some basic information, including your partner's email address so an invitation can be sent to them to complete the same quiz.
