Retirement & Finance
Retirement planning for women is important and focuses on both your income stream as well as savings and investment planning that will last into your 80’s and 90’s. Key factors to consider when planning for retirement for women are longevity, cost of care-taking, long term health plans.
The key is building a retirement plan that delivers lifetime income. Where is that income going to come from? Understanding and learning about dividends, interest, IRA withdrawals, Social Security, annuity payments, your tax bracket, is important in mapping out the right plan for you.
