June has been married to Fred for seven years. Fred just retired from a very good job, and now June wants to retire from Fred. She has a good idea how much Fred's very generous pension is worth and how much is in their bank accounts and their investments. June is healthy, relatively young, has been working part-time as a medical records clerk at the local hospital, and will have to work full-time
