Social Security For Women With Marcia Mantell and Ed Fulbright On Mastering Your Money Radio


Marcia Mantell

Social Security is very important to women. Women represent 56 percent of all Social Security beneficiaries age 62 and older, and about 66 percent of all beneficiaries age 85 and older. Whether you are married or single, divorced or widowed, there are certain strategies you can use to give you more benefits over your lifetime. 

 

Here are your realities. In general, women have lower lifetime earnings, lower pensions, and longer lives than men. Women have made a lot of strides in the work world, but there's still a pay gap. On average, women earn 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. This translates to lower retirement savings, lower pensions and lower Social Security benefits. Yet women tend to live longer than men – so you need these resources even more!
