The Hidden Cost of Couples' Inaction Suze Orman's warning about couples losing thousands in "free money" by failing to save smartly is a stark reminder that even small mistakes can have significant long term consequences for their financial well being.
According to Orman, couples may lose as much as $14,000 by age 65 due to suboptimal savings decisions.
Orman's argument centers on the importance of coordinating workplace retirement plans, which are often overlooked as separate accounts rather than part of a unified household strategy.
