Retirement planning for women
Were you one of the many women who decided to find a career outside the home in the 1960s and 1970s? Today, you are in your mid-60s and considering stopping career or working full time in the near future. There is a helpful book that may assist this life transition. It’s called Project Renewment: the first retirement model for career women (Scribner 2008) by Helen Dennis and Bernice Brattner. The authors explore the identity struggle that career women may face as they move into a new phase of life. While men also may have challenges to find meaningful activities in retirement, the authors believe that the issues women face are unique and need to be addressed. These issues may be financial security; owning their own homes and their health that may have been challenged during their working lives. What are the issues for you?
