Hi, Carol,

Thanks so much for writing about this. In fact, I was just having this conversation last week with a friend. And unfortunately, I believe the people who are taking the brunt of the financial hit are women, which will be especially problematic since we tend to live longer. And I'd also suggest that this will be part of the reason that many people will be working long past the traditional retirement date as evidenced by this Time article.

Thanks for the information!

Dorian

You are right, Dorian. It's women for the most part. I can attest to that first hand.

Thanks for the comment,

Carol
