Publisher's Synopsis
Achieve emotional, physical and financial balance for total well being in retirement.
Nowhere are gender differences more prevalent than in the areas of money and
finance. Added to this are the complexities associated with women and
financial matters, and now, longevity is redefining retirement for women.
Women control over 60% of the wealth in this country, yet few financial
models consider the relevant issues specific to women- particularly in
understanding the impacts physical and emotional needs have on financial
wealth. Over 90% of women feel financially insecure and half of those women
report a fear of becoming financially destitute. Women are at greater
financial risk due to longer life expectancy, lesser earnings, care-giving
interruptions, and fewer retirement resources. Add to that, sudden life
events such as widowhood, divorce, and job loss, which can wreak havoc on
women's emotional and financial health. This book discusses the need for life
planning and offers strategies for consideration for all women who desire to
be financially independent and experience optimal well being.Bajalia focuses
on the health/wealth connection to ensure women have a quality of life during
the various stages of their retirement lives. She provides a guide for
protecting and preserving the lifestyle we desire as women and shares
insights on the emotional, physical and financial balance required for a
dignified, empowering retirement. For women, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY -
IT'S ABOUT TOTAL WELL BEING.
