Did you know that women live 5 years longer than men? This longer life expectancy has two key implications for us:
- We will need more money and healthcare, and
- We have to prepare differently for our future
According to a women’s and financial wellness report by Merrill Lynch, women not only live longer than men but also end up being the caretakers of their spouses/partners.
Keeping this information in mind, we compiled an ultimate list of 36 financial and investment resources to help you better manage your finances and prepare for retirement. They include websites, blogs, podcasts, online newsletters, and online/offline classes. The good news is the majority of these resources are free and easily accessible online.
