Almost 1 in 4 women (24%) reported that their financial wellness is worse today than two years ago, compared to only 17% of men who said the same, according to a recent survey.
The pandemic and resulting economic volatility have made women more aware of, and focused on, their short and long-term financial wellness. www.tiaa.org
Nearly 40% of women say they don’t not have anything saved for retirement. The TIAA survey showed glaring examples of how women face bigger challenges than men when it comes to both their short- and long-term financial futures:
• More women (25%) say they carry an “unmanageable level of debt” compared to 17% of men.
• More women (29%) struggle to pay monthly bills, including utilities, rent, loan payments and credit cards. For men, it was 19%.

Far fewer women (31%) are saving for retirement, compared to men (44%). And the pandemic has made matters worse, as nearly two million women have left the workforce since 2020. Women also retire about two years earlier than men, but typically live longer. The net result of all these factors is that women’s retirement savings and investments generate about 30% less income than men’s once they stop working, and women also face a greater risk of running out of money in retirement.
Women are behind in retirement planning and the gap between the financial wellness of men and women continues to widen. According to the survey:
 63% of women say they have any money saved toward retirement, compared to 80% of men.
 44% of men say they are currently saving towards retirement compared to 31% of women.
 35% of men are confident their retirement savings are on track to live comfortably throughout retirement without running out of money, compared to 19% of women.

Shelly-Ann Eweka, Senior Director of Advice Strategy at TIAA, discusses this latest survey results and why it’s important for employers to take the necessary steps toward empowering women to learn more about their financial wellness before they reach the age of retirement. Eweka will also outline how research shows that employers must take a tailored approach to support women improve their financial well being and close the retirement gap.

NO SECRET THAT DURING THE PANDEMIC, WOMEN SUFFERED MUCH MORE FINANCIALLY THAN MEN, BUT A NEW SURVEY SHOWS HOW THIS COULD IMPACT THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

TODAY, ONLY 19% OF WOMEN FEEL CONFIDENT THEY’RE ON TRACK TO LIVE COMFORTABLY THROUGHOUT RETIREMENT WITHOUT RUNNING OUT OF MONEY.THAT’S BARELY HALF THE NUMBER OF MEN WHO FEEL THAT WAY.

AND ONCE WOMEN STOP WORKING,THEIR RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND INVESTMENTS GENERATE ABOUT 30% LESS INCOME THAN MEN’S.

Gotta Catch ‘Em All… Pokémon that is! Parents everywhere are familiar with Pikachu, Eevee and the various card games, video games and shows that coincide with these familiar characters. While some may think that playing Pokémon is merely a fun way to pass the time, Brainly, the world’s largest online learning platform and homework help community is here to show how kids’ love of all things Charizard can be educational.

“The best way to teach kids is to meet them where they are and incorporate things they naturally have an interest in outside of a classroom, like Pokémon, into your lesson plans. Whether you use these characters to teach your latest science lesson or include Meowth in your math problem, there is an educational aspect to Pokémon,” according to Brainly’s Parenting Expert Patrick Quinn.

But just how is Pokémon educational? In honor of National Pokémon Day on February 27th, Brainly shares some ideas.

>> Pokémon and School
Whether you’re learning about science (hello Fire, Water, Electric, Ice, Ground, and more Pokémon types!) or teaching a math lesson, teachers and educators can use Pokémon as part of their lesson plans to engage students. Check out an example on Brainly!

>> Pokémon and Math
Playing Pokémon requires you to use math skills. Your child will practice their addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills all while playing Pokémon.

>> Check Out Those “Punny” Pokémon Names
Did you know many of the Pokémon names are rooted in Greek, Latin, Japanese, and more? Here are some examples:
• Pikachu – “pikapika” is Japanese for “sparkle” and chu is Japanese for “squeak”
• Squirtle – “squirt” means to shoot water and “turtle” is a water-based reptile
• Clefable – “clef” is a musical symbol and “fable” is a fairytale
• Umbreon – “umbra” is the darkest part of a shadow and “eon” is a long period of time

>> Pokémon and Critical Thinking
If your children collect Pokémon cards, encourage them to learn the game. It will teach them critical thinking skills and how to deal with complex situations. Played yourself when you were younger? There is knowledge in nostalgia – test your memory and add Pokémon to your family game nights!

>> Pokémon and the Imagination
Pokémon encourages children to use their imaginations and think outside of the box. The ability to imagine is the key to success in countless professions, including business, science, technology, education, and writing.

Want to learn more ways Pokémon can be educational? We’d be happy to set up an interview with Brainly’s Parenting Expert Patrick Quinn to discuss.

New York, NY – The Law Offices of Evangeline M. Chan, a full-service immigration law practice handling a wide variety of immigration matters for corporate and individual clients, has new liaisons with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) designated EB-5 Regional Centers as well as with EB-5 direct investment opportunities.

The USCIS Immigrant Investor Program (also known as the “EB-5 Program”) was established by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Under the EB-5 Program, foreign investors can obtain lawful permanent residency (also known as a “green card”) through either a direct investment or investment through a USCIS designated Regional Center. In either instance, the requirements are essentially the same—investment of $1 million in a new commercial enterprise that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers within 2 years of the grant of conditional permanent residency. If the new commercial enterprise is located in a Targeted Employment Area (high unemployment or rural area), the qualifying investment is $500,000.

Constantly striving to bring the best in services to its clients, the Law Offices of Evangeline M. Chan has developed relationships and liaisons with active USCIS designated Regional Centers and qualifying businesses to meet the needs of foreign investors looking to participate in the EB-5 Program. Current investment opportunities include new real estate developments in New York City and franchise opportunities across the country.
