According to Fidelity’s Couples Retirement Study, It’s Not Always Romantic to Talk Money With Your Honey

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–About the Study
The 2015 Fidelity Investments “Couples
Retirement Study” analyzed retirement and financial expectations and
preparedness among 1,051 couples (2,102 individuals). Respondents were
required to be at least 25 years old, married or in a long-term
committed relationship and living with their respective partner, and
have a minimum household income of $75,000 or at least $100,000 in
investable assets. This online, biennial study was launched in 2007 and
is unique in that it tests agreement of both partners in a committed
relationship on communication, as well as their knowledge of finances
and retirement planning issues. Fidelity Investments was not identified
as the sponsor. GfK’s Public Affairs & Corporate Communications division
executed the study, which was fielded in April 2015.
