For Women

Is retirement different for women?  How about Social Security?  The short answer is YES.  And for so many different reasons.  Not the least of which is that women will live longer than most men.  We need to be prepared for that very fact.

Women from coast to coast need more information about planning for their retirement and financial security.  They need ideas for getting the conversation going.

In this section of Boomer Retirement Briefs, you can explore many of the reasons retirement will be different for women.  It gives you a place to go for information geared particularly to women.  There are worksheets, guides, and helpful resources throughout these posts. 

Use everything available and let me know if there are other topics you would like to see here.

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

For me, there is a strong connection between preparing meals and planning retirement. Both need certain ingredients, recipes to follow, and getting the timing just right.

My motto to live by: If you can make a lasagna, you can create a plan for retirement.

Look for an invitation to join me at my kitchen table where retirement is always on the menu.

More coming soon…
