Saving for Retirement MAKE A RESOLUTION TO SAVE FOR RETIREMENT As we enter the new year, it is the perfect time to start saving (or saving more) for retirement. Although more than 85% of American women approaching retirement say that financial security in retirement is important to them, only one in three (33%) of women believe they are very likely to achieve it. The We Say Save It PSAs address this confidence gap by encouraging women to prioritize their financial futures and save for their retirement. Many women think saving for retirement is a daunting task that requires them to save 10–15% of their income on top of their day-to-day budget, but that is not the case. Any amount saved for retirement now can help better prepare women for retirement in the long run.

Take the 2% Challenge Women already budget, pay bills, and build up funds for a rainy day successfully. The We Say Save It PSAs encourage women to use these skills to save for their financial futures by saving 2% (or 2% more) of their income for retirement. Saving 2%—or 2% more—of their income is a small and achievable step women can take today that can make a big difference in their future retirement savings. Get PSAs: AdCouncil.org/Our-Work 3
