Financial Strategies for Women

The time is now for women to take charge of their financial futures. 
 


Women face unique financial challenges over the course of a lifetime. For example:

  • Women are living longer than men (80.2 years vs. 75.1 years), which creates a greater need for retirement funding.1
  • On average, women earn about 80% of what men do2, and have a median retirement income equal to 58% of men's.3
  • Females, on average, are in the workforce for 12 years less than men.3
  • Women traditionally have left the workplace for varying lengths of time in order to care for children and/or aging relatives.
  • Women spend 2-3 hours per week more than men away from work for primary child care activities.4
