Retirement Planning Resources for Women
25 05 2007By Matt
Over the last week, I’ve been talking with people about women’s economic security and retirement issues. It turns out that the government has developed quite a few programs, all of which I’ve never heard of until I went digging for information. Among the sites and resources that seem to be most valuable:
- Wi$eUp, an online education resource for Gen X & Y women that encourages them to develop responsible saving habits for retirement
- Women’s Commissions throughout the United States
There are approximately 200 Women’s Commissions which are state and local government agencies tasked with addressing women’s issues, like economic security. - Women and Retirement Savings, courtesy of the Dept. of Labor
- This is a great article with planning tips for women at each decade of their life
There is also a free software package, Get Rich Slow, aimed at motivating women to become actively engaged in planning for retirement. Also, it helps to understand how retirement planning is different for women.
