THE MONEY TALK NEW COUPLES NEED

What kind of money conver­sations should couples have before the wedding day?

Dan: One of the most important conversations to have concerns your upbringing around money and how you view it. I think that’s going to paint a better picture for what the future is going to look like in terms of how you view finances as a couple. There can be financial trauma that comes from your upbringing, whether it’s because your parents separated due to finances or you don’t have a good understanding of the basics of personal finance because they never talked about money. Working through those things together is important.

Should all new couples merge their finances?

THERE'S more to Mairs & Power Growth than its name implies. The managers favor firms with above-average earnings growth. But a durable, competitive position in their market- “a number-one or number-two position and gaining share,” says comanager Andrew Adams—and a reasonable stock price matter even more.

Look Beyond the Tech Giants

I am hooked on a podcast called Acquired, in which two smart guys do a deep analytical dive, typically lasting three or four hours, on a single successful company such as Coca-Cola or Trader Joe's. Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, a pair of venture capitalists, are especially adept at explaining what's behind the success of such tech giants as Alphabet (symbol GOOGL, $320), the former Google, which recently merited 11 hours and 42 minutes of dialogue all by itself.

How to Pay for Long-Term Care

A couple of months ago, I wrote that many Americans significantly underestimate how long they could live in retirement (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec.). With the possibility of a 30-year retirement becoming more common, retirees need to plan for so-called longevity risk to make sure their assets last a lifetime. And the longer you live, the more likely you'll need to pay for some form of long-term care. That can range from assistance with activities of daily living to in-home care to a nursing home stay.
