Yours, Mine, and Ours
A Couple’s Guide to Retirement Planning
W
hile the reasons for earning two incomes may vary from couple
to couple, these families often face a similar financial challenge:
participation in separate retirement programs.
As a couple, your combined retirement assets are not just limited to what you
may have accumulated in your current employers’ retirement plans. You also need
to consider any older accounts that are still sitting in former employers’ plans,
or assets that have been moved to rollover IRAs. After inventorying your various
retirement assets, consider some areas where a joint planning effort may help
enhance your investment outcome.
Setting a Mutual Goal
Distributions
Pursuing the goal of retiring together requires a long-term
approach. Start by determining how large a combined nest egg
you will need. This will depend on how much you have already
saved and when you hope to retire, as well as your retirement
lifestyle choices -- where you plan to live, whether you plan to
maintain more than one residence, and what you plan to do with
your time. All of these factors will affect your retirement income
needs.
For couples in or near retirement, an equally important
part of the planning process is determining when and
how to withdraw money from retirement accounts.
Consider which accounts (i.e., taxable vs. tax-deferred)
to tap first. It may be better to liquidate assets in
taxable accounts, allowing assets in IRAs and qualified
retirement plans to continue growing tax-deferred.
Remember, however, that with few exceptions, the
IRS requires individuals to begin withdrawing money
from tax-deferred accounts no later than age 70½, at
which point you may want to rethink your distribution
strategy. For instance, might it make sense to convert
a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA to avoid taking
distributions altogether? Your tax advisor can help you
consider the tax consequences of conversion, as well as
the potential benefits of a Roth IRA.
Keep in mind that Americans are living longer and that one or
both of you could spend 20 or more years in retirement. Also
carefully review the potential financial benefits of delaying
retirement. Working for an extra few years could enable you
to continue making contributions to your IRA or employersponsored retirement plan and delay taking withdrawals.
Asset allocation -- As with any investment portfolio, your
retirement accounts should work in unison to pursue a single
accumulation goal. Ask yourselves whether your overall asset
allocation is appropriate for your combined objectives and risk
tolerance. Are the portfolios adequately diversified? Are they
overweighted in any one asset class or individual security? Also,
consider how your retirement portfolios complement your other
assets, such as taxable investment accounts and real estate.
Investwithwestern.com
These are just a few of the issues dual-earner couples
need to consider when managing their individual
retirement plan accounts. Since no two couples’
financial situations are alike, the best course of action
may be to speak with your financial advisor about
devising a coordinated plan for meeting your future
financial needs.

Oral Appliance Therapy
Oral appliance therapy involves the selection,
fitting and use of a specially designed oral
appliance that maintains an open, unobstructed
airway in the throat when worn during sleep.
Custom-made oral appliances are proven to be
more effective than over-the-counter devices,
which are not recommended as a screening tool
or as a therapeutic option.
Sleeping with CPAP Machine
Advantages of Oral Appliance Therapy
• Oral appliances are comfortable and easy
to wear. Most people find that it only takes
a couple of weeks to become acclimated to
wearing the appliance.
• Oral appliances are small and convenient
making them easy to carry when traveling.
• Treatment with oral appliances is reversible
and non-invasive
Sleeping with Oral Appliance
Both options are covered by most PPO Medical Insurances.
