Think men and women are equal when it comes to financial planning?  Think again!

 

Women comprise over half the U.S. population, hold 51% of U.S. wealth and have 83% of purchasing power. In fact we believe that women are the biggest emerging market in the history of the United States. Yet, even after decades of progress women tend to be ignored when it comes to financial advice tailored to their needs.  

Longer life expectancies.  

Women outlive men by an average of 8 years, which means that they must stretch their money for an additional 8 years beyond when their spouse passes away.

Need for long term care

More than 71% of women will need some sort of long term care help in their retirement years.  This is an area very unique to women especially since most women outlive their husbands and will be left alone for their later years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fewer years in the workforce

Women spend an average of 12 years less than men in the workforce, so they could take care of family. This results in smaller Social Security benefits, and only half the Pension benefits men receive.

The Financial POA allows a person of your choosing to make limited financial decisions for you, if you are unable to do so.
