Studies show, on average, women earn less, have smaller retirement account balances and live longer than men. There is a temptation to talk about women’s financial challenges rather than their solutions. But the reality is that a need is a need, regardless of gender, and women can better meet their financial needs when they understand their options.
Education and training matter for two reasons. One, women may take time off to start and raise a family, putting their career progression on hold. Two, any person taking a career timeout may see an adverse effect on how much they save for future goals. Less money earned is less money saved.
How do you meet these unique challenges? Continue to learn, either through formal or industry education, to increase your marketability. Online courses in both areas are now the norm rather than the exception, making it easier to continue your education while taking a career break. When returning to work, insist on equitable pay. While women are making gains, they still earn just under 82% of what men earn. In times of full employment, you have options if your current employer undervalues your contributions.
Take saving for retirement: The earlier you save, the more opportunity there is for time and compounding to potentially help your savings grow. If you know a career timeout is in your future, double up on your retirement contributions before your break, while finding ways to maintain a disciplined approach once resuming your career.
