The Smart Woman’s Guide to Planning for Retirement.

The following is some ideas from a post from the Midlifemommusings.com on May 1, and it is about an upcoming book on Women and Retirement which I thought I would share.

The Smart Woman’s Guide to Planning for Retirement. Just in time.

What caught my attention this month was Mary’s announcement of her new book, The Smart Woman’s Guide to Planning for Retirement.  It won’t come out until November, but I am very excited about it.

Here is a the book description:

What does a woman want to do when she retires? Travel? Pursue hobbies? Spend time with friends and family? We all have dreams about what those days will be like. But when it comes to turning those dreams into reality, women’s retirement confidence and know-how is low. According to a 2012 survey, 92 percent of women of all ages in this country don’t feel they’re educated enough to reach their retirement savings goals. For the woman who doesn’t know where to start or would like a knowledgeable guide who speaks her language, financial expert Mary Hunt offers a comprehensive but approachable resource for saving and planning for retirement.

Whether she feels entitled to retire at age 65, hopes she’ll be able to stop working someday, or is convinced she’ll never be able to retire, every woman will find real help in these pages. With her signature no-nonsense, energetic style, Hunt assures women that it’s only too late if they don’t start now. She clearly covers every aspect of retirement planning during every season of a woman’s life, giving women the confidence they need to shape their future
