Perspectives on Retirement for Women

Do you have a clear view of your retirement?
Will you work part time?
Gardening at a Tuscan villa?
Financing your grandchildren’s college education?

At Wachovia, we know that women tread their own path on the way to retirement. While sharing many of the same choices and challenges as men, we help women consider how additional experiences such as getting married, changing jobs, caring for a family, leaving and re-entering the workplace, impact retirement plans.

Whether you are just starting out in a new job or are at the peak of your career, Wachovia can help you develop a plan to help you make your life in retirement all you want it to be.

Tailor Your Plan to Meet Your Needs
Just starting out in the working world? You are in luck! By starting your retirement planning early, you can contribute to your employer’s 401k or pension plan, and begin building your retirement assets.

Taking time off to start or take care of a family? Moving 401k funds into a Rollover IRA can be a great way to keep your money growing while you’re out of the workforce.

Are you rising through the ranks in your career? Now is the time to discover your risk tolerance for investments. If you invest too conservatively or with too much risk, you run the risk of being left with too few funds at retirement.

Getting ready to consider a new chapter in life? Keep growing your retirement funds. Talking to a Wachovia Securities Financial Advisor now can help ensure you have enough to live on in the long term.
