Why Are Widows So Poor

This email broke my heart and I only read the title.

I received it from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.  It's the title of their latest report: "Why Are Widows So Poor"

The first page of this report has a 2006 graph from the Social Security Administration which shows that nearly 30 percent of older non-married women are either poor or near poor.

At the WealthBuilderUniversity.com we hope to help scratch the surface of this seemingly insurmountable challenge.

For beginners at "Financial Literacy Empowerment" we are introducing "Transformational Financial Literacy".  We will deliver new perspectives on the day to day financial transactions we all have to deal with and combine them with the "baby steps" we all need to understand and use that information effectively to build wealth  and a Prepaid Retirement.

Does this resonate as much with you as it does with me?
