MetLife Mature Market Institute has published yet another free booklet worth a gander. It’s called “What Today’s Woman Needs to Know: A Retirement journey” and can help women prepare for retirement and addresses specific challenges women face: job switching, taking time out for family and the important consideration of when to retire. It also helps with financial questions like how much money one will need to retire, what kinds of investments are available, protecting assets, health-care costs and ways to use home equity. The booklet also contains a retirement savings and planning checklist for each decade with guidelines for women from their 20s to their 70s.

According to MetLife, retirement for women will be redefined by the younger generations who expect to work longer than their mothers and to have a more active retirement with varied pursuits. Daughters, says MetLife, may be more vulnerable because they will enter retirement with considerably higher levels of debt than their mothers and are expected to make a greater financial adjustment than their mothers.
