So why do we avoid it?](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/not-talking-about-money-puts-us-at-risk.-so-why-do-we-avoid-it) Posted by [Thrive Wealth Management](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/author/thrive-wealth-management) on Nov 8, 2018 10:30:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![308054_SocialMediaGraphics_1080x1080_6_101818](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/hubfs/308054_SocialMediaGraphics_1080x1080_6_101818.jpg)](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/not-talking-about-money-puts-us-at-risk.-so-why-do-we-avoid-it) Meet Nancy\*. She’s a 55-year-old mother of two with a career she loves. But now that her youngest has finished college, Nancy is thinking about scaling back work to spend more time with her new grandson.

Although her retirement savings are modest – Nancy chose to work part-time while her children were young – she trusts that her husband’s retirement fund will see them through comfortably, especially since he doesn’t plan to retire anytime soon. Or so she thinks. The truth is Nancy and her husband have never seriously discussed their retirement plans. She has no idea at what age he plans to retire or how much money he’d like to have saved by then – or whether his thoughts on either of these things match her own. If you can relate to Nancy’s story, you aren’t alone. **According to a [Fidelity Investments 2018 Couples & Money Study](https://clearingcustody.fidelity.com/app/item/RD_13569_42626.html?pos=T), more than 4 in 10 couples disagree about the age they plan to retire and 54% disagree about how much money they should have saved by that date.** [Read More](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/not-talking-about-money-puts-us-at-risk.-so-why-do-we-avoid-it) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/not-talking-about-money-puts-us-at-risk.-so-why-do-we-avoid-it#comments-listing) [All posts](https://blog.thrivewealth.ca/all) ## FOR EVERY STAGE OF LIFES JOURNEY  #### WE'RE HERE Through our life stage approach, we can provide you with investments and opportunities that are directly related to your unique needs. **Next Steps:** - [GET STARTED](https://thrivewealth.ca/get-started) - [TOOLS & CALCULATORS](https://thrivewealth.ca/tools/calculators) - [CONTACT US](https://thrivewealth.ca/contact-us) ### Subscribe to stay informed ### Recent Posts ## OTHER RESOURCES  **Check out the #MONEYTALK Blog ** Our partner Credit Union, Conexus shares expert advice, practical help and solutions on topics that are important to you and your financial well-being.
