WHERE:

WHY:       

Women often focus their energy on others – caring for kids and parents – and rarely take the time to think about their own future.  Women are an especially important audience for advice on future planning as they statistically outlive their male partners by an average of five years.  By age 75, nearly half of all women can expect to be living alone, which leaves them with no one in the household to help with daily activities.  This event highlights the need for women to start securing their own future now.  We're providing tools and information so women can plan their second phase of life.

"Me and My Life" is part of AARP's Decide. Create. Share. initiative, a nationwide effort aimed to help increase women's awareness about the importance of taking charge of their future and empower them to start planning now for their future long-term care needs.  There are four pillar issues: health, personal finances, home and community, and your personal wishes.
