Most couples plan for retirement together. Few plan for what happens when one spouse is no longer there.
When a spouse passes away, the household doesnโt keep both Social Security checks. The survivor receives only the higher of the two benefits, which can mean a 33 to 50% drop in monthly income overnight.
Itโs one of the most overlooked gaps in retirement planning, and it disproportionately affects the spouse who wasnโt managing the finances.
At Global Wealth Management, our goal is to help couples build a plan that accounts for both phases of retirement: the years you spend together, and the years one of you may face alone.
