Retirement 101



I recently read an article in Financial Planning Magazine about women and retirement. The article claims that nearly 53% of women do not have a retirement plan. Guess what? I am one of those 53%.

I only just started saving for retirement within the last three years. I just started investing in May. Of course, as soon as I put my money in the market, everything started to go belly up and now I have less than I started with. According to the article, 29% of the women who are planning for retirement prefer to do their own research. I too thought that I could figure it all out, but based on my record so far, I've decided to see a Financial Planner. One that specializes in Socially Responsible Investing.
