Did you know that a National Center on Women & Aging study showed that, on average, caregivers lose $659,130 over a lifetime in reduced salary and retirement benefits? In their dedication to caring for others these caregivers pay an enormous financial price. To address these issues, WISER (The Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement) has written a booklet called Financial Steps for Caregivers: What You Need to Know About Money and Retirement designed to help caregivers make smart financial decisions while fulfilling their caregiving role.
You can download a free copy of this booklet at http://www.aoa.gov/prof/aoaprog/caregiver/WISER.pdf.
WISER’s quarterly newsletter is inexpensive ($15) easy-to-read and very helpful. Back issues are available on-line for free at www.wiserwomen.org.
Linking you with helpful caregiving resources
and wishing you a wonderful week.
