It's hard for someone as young as me to be thinking about saving for retirement, as I don't make much now and have good uses for that money. Plus, who's to say I'll live that long, or require the same standard of living? I enjoyed the interesting statistics about women and retirement.

And being vested doesn't help if you get laid off before the vesting is full. Having it happen twice in the last ten years doesn't help either! I think that's something happening to both men & women right now; most of the women I know have paid leave & return full-time within 2-3 months of giving birth.

Rather, the emergence of women in the regularly-paid, retirement-eligible workforce is a pretty recent thing -- only in the last 30 years or so. If we want to change this gender gap in retirement savings, we need to starting educating women now about the importance of such savings and give them tools to begin saving successfully.
