More commonly than not, women will be on their own for at least some time in adulthood:
• Women live longer than men
• Women have more years in retirement
• Divorce rates are high, and often lower a woman’s standard of living
Women have lower incomes, assets and net worth than men:
• Women are more likely to leave the workforce for periods of time or work part-time
• Women get paid less
• Women are not good negotiators
