Chapter 1: The Reality of Retirement Insecurity
Many women find themselves facing anxiety during their retirement years, which are often expected to be a time of relaxation and enjoyment. Unfortunately, the reality is starkly different for many, as approximately 40% are at risk of experiencing financial hardship in their later years due to inadequate retirement savings.
This concern is particularly pronounced among women of color, with roughly 50% expressing anxiety about their financial future. The roots of this issue often lie in the struggle to balance various financial responsibilities. Women frequently prioritize immediate bills, family needs, and even financial support for their adult children or grandchildren over saving for retirement.
For women of color, this burden is particularly heavy, complicating their ability to set aside funds for their future needs.
