[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would have been obvious if you were more involved in finances. Your planner didn’t give you financial statements? You never looked at a paystub or w2?[/quote]

If my husband ever demanded my pay stubs to dictate how much I would be contributing to my workplace retirement plan, I think I might divorce him on general principle.[/quote]

True, but isn't it part of the regular partnership conversation?  How do we as a team plan for retirement and what do we need to do each year?  [/quote]

Exactly!!  Discussing finances should be a key part of any relationship.  We don't dictate things to each other, we discuss and come to agreements.  Also, financial issues are one of the top reasons for divorce.  If you are not on at least a similar page regarding finances, your relationship will likely struggle.  
So I cannot imagine being married to someone who doesn't want to max out retirement savings and college savings, if the income allows it (ie you can still live comfortably and have a few "extras")
