Women's History Month recognizes the many historic advances females have contributed across all fields in our society.
As we take time to reflect on these important accomplishments, it's also an ideal time to address female financial inequality and advocate for women's efforts to be rewarded as well as their male counterparts.
While women have been—and continue to be—fearless leaders and innovators, they've historically earned less and have less retirement savings than men.
- Women ages 45 to 64 are typically paid only 72 cents for every dollar paid to a man; younger women make less too – 91 cents on the dollar.1
- The average American woman must save $1.25 for every $1 a man invests in retirement savings to build an equivalent nest egg.2
- Women, on average, earn 76% of what men earn, resulting in an average lifetime earnings differential of $250,000.3
Women face unique challenges, including:
- Many women in the “sandwich generation” are caught in the middle caring for aging parents, children and other family members.
- When it comes to saving for health-care costs in retirement, women need to set aside more—almost 20% more, on average—to cover their medical bills in the final years of their lives.4
- Women generally have a longer life expectancy and outlive men by an average of 5 years5, so Social Security and pensions may not provide enough to last throughout a woman's final years
- Life events such as divorce and widowhood have a more pronounced impact on women than men.6
Women make up nearly half of the total U.S. workforce
7 and 44% of women are the primary breadwinners in their households
8, so the trend is looking brighter for the rising financial power of women.
As political and societal shifts continue to work toward women's financial equality, it's crucial for women — and the men that have mothers, wives, daughters, girlfriends, aunts, friends, and other females in their lives that deserve their support — to take control of their own financial future.
David Treece and Treece Financial Group are here to help you and your loved ones develop strategies for retirement, investing, and creating a safety net for wherever life takes you.
Give us a call today at 305-751-8855 for advice so you can dream big and live fearlessly as you continue to make
her-story.

Tax Seminars Offered Insights into New Tax Code
Thanks to everyone who attended one of our February tax seminars that offered an overview of how the new tax code affects 2018 tax filing and offered tips for effective 2019 tax planning.
From Miami Shores to Wilton Manor, and in partnership with Brockway Memorial Library, Lambda Living, and the Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce we were able to connect with many community members who had great questions and feedback!
2019 Tax Tip:
The IRS encourages everyone to perform a "paycheck checkup" to see if you have the right amount of tax withheld for your personal situation.
