Women Aren’t Faring Well When It Comes To Retirement Planning
A new report indicates that American women are not well prepared for retirement, and without adequate retirement planning, many women will suffer in their later years as the result of their circumstances.
Women still earn nearly one-quarter less, work fewer years on a full-time basis, save less, and receive lower Social Security payments than men do. To complicate the picture, women also live longer than men do, meaning that their retirement savings need to last longer and their retirement investments need to perform better.
While the report specifically focuses on the value of annuities, the statistics regarding retirement planning are alarming. There are many ways to support a comfortable retirement, however. Diversity of investments is the key. Smart investors are looking at the Mexican real estate market as a way to prop up sagging retirement investments.
In the past decade property values here in Puerto Vallarta have increased by about 10 percent per year. While this has been a phenomenal rate of return, it promises to continue for at least the next five years. With this rate of appreciation, the longer you wait to buy in, the lower your average return will be. At some point in the not-too-distant future, average investors will be priced out of this market and the opportunity to take advantage of this outstanding return will be gone.
Using high-return investments to make up for lower earnings and shorter careers an excellent investment strategy. Select Mexico Properties has about 100 prime residential parcels in San Pancho, just north of Puerto Vallarta. These pre-screened properties are among the best available building sites in this area, and are priced affordably.
