It's easy... you can help improve your retirement outlook by following these 7 steps!
A study from the nonprofit Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies® (TCRS) titled, Fourteen Facts About Women’s Retirement Outlook aims at raising awareness of retirement risks that women face in order to affect positive change.
“Women can take greater control of their finances,” according to Catherine Collinson, president of TCRS, “by taking small steps that can ultimately lead to a giant leap in terms of their long-term retirement readiness. How each woman ultimately plans on spending her retirement is unique, but the tools to help attain retirement readiness are common to all. Women have made tremendous strides in recent decades in terms of educational attainment and careers. Now is the time to make even greater strides in achieving a financially secure retirement.”
