Men and Women Plan Retirement Differently
A new study by Ameriprise and Harris Interactive found that men outpace women in planning for the financial aspects of retirement 77% to 72%. However, women are more likely to have thought about what they would like to do during retirement.
Only 22% of Americans report confidence in reaching their retirement goals. Men outpace women in that key measure 25% to 19%. Men are more likely than women to report that they have determined the amount of money they need for retirement and a higher percentage are saving money through IRA’s and other investments. Women have a more prominent role in planning for family, lifestyle and health after retirement. More women than men make plans to stay healthy during retirement and have a higher incidence of planning for their leisure time and activities than men.
