Women live longer than men and require more financial planning than men. Are you planning? Life expectancy for a woman age 65 is another 21 years. That is 3 years more than for a man of the same age. Life expectancy at age 65 for Hispanic women is 23 years and for African American women it is 20 years.1 Living longer means greater financial risks such as inflation, outliving assets, death of a spouse, and unexpected health costs. Women need more resources to cover their longer retirement ...and prevent falling into poverty. A third of women who become widowed are younger than age 60, and half of all women who will become widowed become so by age 65.1
Women who are single, divorced, or widowed face a higher risk of poverty in retirement. This is especially true for single, minority women.The poverty rate for single African American women age 65+ is 38.5% and for single Hispanic women it is 41.1% – both are more than twice the rate of White women, 16.7%.1
Women are often not offered retirement benefits on their job, or have less retirement benefits because they were out of the workforce having children and because of making less pay. Consequently more planning is needed for women because they live longer, make less money, and are out of the workforce.
