Case Study
Picture a tenured philosophy professor married to a spousal hire in engineering. One partner enjoys job security and a strong retirement plan, while the other earns significantly more but feels less certain about long-term career stability. They’re trying to balance their financial goals, but the uneven earning potential is creating tension about how much each should contribute to retirement savings and shared expenses. These situations are incredibly common—and we’re here to help. At Campus Financial Partners, we bring clarity to these financial dynamics. We’d love to guide them in coordinating their dual benefits packages, setting equitable contribution plans, and crafting a strategy that empowers them both to feel confident and aligned in their shared financial future.
