This always just gauls me. The decision to have the woman save less for
retirement makes little, if any, sense. She makes less money and, if social
security is still around, will have a smaller check. Yet she'll probably
live longer and have greater need. 10% of her income will always be less
than 10% of the man's greater income, why can't she at least defer the same
percentage? (Sorry for the rant, this wasn't your question.)

What do you expect from this financial planner? What is it you need planned?
