Women, Retirement, & Longevity - Four Strategies That Matter Most

October 30, 2025

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

👩‍💼 Unique Challenges: women live longer but retire with less wealth

💪 Plan for Stages: design flexible retirement “chapters” that adapt with life

🤝 Partnership in Planning: establish trust and communication with your advisor

💼 Work Smarter, Longer: advocate for fair pay and career advancement

🌟 Life of Significance: reframe retirement as a time to thrive, not survive

Retirement isn’t just about having enough. It’s about making sure your plan lasts as long as you do. For women, that challenge is even greater. Women live nearly six years longer than men on average, yet retire with about 25% less wealth. That can create a minefield in retirement, but it doesn’t have to. Today, we’ll share four key strategies to help women overcome the wealth gap, navigate longer life expectancies, and build financial confidence for every stage of retirement.
