Women continue to be at a greater risk than men in terms of not achieving a financially secure retirement. According to a recent national study, 42% of women are not confident they will be able to fully retire with a comfortable lifestyle.
Along with a WRS pension, a supplemental retirement savings plan like the Wisconsin Deferred Compensation Program (WDC) is equally important for WRS members to grow their personal savings and attain a financially comfortable and secure retirement.
On April 16, 2025, at 10 a.m., the WDC will host a 30-minute webinar on "Women and Investing" that aims for WRS members — both WDC participants and non-participants — to build more confidence about their financial future.
Topics include the mindset and factors women face, coming up with a plan to help reach individual financial goals, steps to success, and retirement readiness review. A local WDC retirement plan advisor will be available to answer questions and provide additional resources. Register Here
