You want your spouse involved in your retirement plan, but every time money comes up, it feels like you hit a wall. Anthony dives into what’s really going on beneath the surface when someone avoids financial conversations. It’s often not about disinterest; it’s about discomfort, fear, or feeling out of place. And the way you approach it can either build trust… or shut things down even further.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🧠 Why the Avoidance? Often driven by fear or uncertainty

🎯 Start with Your Goals: Focus on life goals before numbers

⏳ Keep It Light: Short talks beat overwhelming conversations

🤝 Use an Advisor: Removes pressure and guides both partners

🧩 Play Your Role: Clear ownership increases engagement
