women talking about retirement

According to the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, a measly 8% of employed women feel they are building a sufficient retirement fund. One of the main reasons for this is that women aren't talking about retirement planning.

Financial Planning.com is where you can find a summary of the survey, but if you are interested in reading the full 37 page Annual Transamerica Retirement Survey, you'll find it here - Women: Let’s Talk About Retirement
