[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH refuses to engage in financial planning for his own retirement or college savings because he believes "mom will pay for it." [/quote] Of course you're right not to assume DH will come into money. As I'm sure you know, there could be less than he thinks, or she may need it to pay for medical issues, or she might remarry and be swindled out of money. But it could sound aggressive to DH if you give these examples. I'd be inclined to say something like this--that you know his mom has been very generous, and that you want to guarantee that you and he can continue that tradition of generosity down the generations. Then have a one-off meeting with a financial planner, who can help you get on the same page.[/quote]
