Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men and women arrive at maturity from different places. Women start retirement with less money than men. And most women die single, while most men die married. Each of these factors makes a critical difference in investment planning strategies—from applying for Social Security to writing a will. Money and the Mature Woman is the book that every mid-life and older woman, whether single, married, or widowed, should have to guide her through the money maze. Here under one cover is what you need to know about the money issues that concern you—including investment and finance, pensions and social security, wills and estate planning, health insurance and housing issues, and scams that especially target you—all presented in a straightforward, easy-to-understand, and empowering manner, and all tailored to a woman's needs.
