#scbwinonfiction Thanks to all the great speakers and organizers of the NonFiction writer's conference. Favorite words of wisdom I heard: "Tell a good story - conflict, tension, characterization." "We need storytellers working in nonfiction."
The issue of women's retirement is so important! Let us know how we can raise awareness. Too many older women end up living in poverty. #ASW2020#WomensRetirement
Understanding retirement goals and where you want to spend money is important. Extensive traveling can be expensive. Owning your own home can reduce costs. Downhill skiing costs more than snowshoeing. What are your values - time? money? #ASW2020#WomensRetirement
This website has a wealth-building calculator that clearly demonstrates the power of compound interest and long-term saving. https://t.co/sBC9YDCcWZ #ASW2020#WomensRetirement
Buying a house that will be paid off before retirement and has reasonable expenses is a good way to supplement retirement savings. Otherwise, you have to pay rent anyway. #ASW2020#WomensRetirement
Women face so many obstacles in the workplace - lower salaries than men, more resistance to success in high-paying jobs. Often girls don't get the same training in financial literacy, and don't understand the importance of saving for retirement.

We teach children starting at 3rd-grade about wealth building. They get it! - especially when they listen to their classmates' presentations. Rather than talking about retirement, we talk about not having to work for money. #ASW2020

Only one piece of advice? Start saving for retirement early and never touch it. With children, we teach wealth building as a distinct type of saving, separate from a Rainy Day Fund and saving for short and long-term goals. #ExpressCreditUnion#ASW2020
Third-grade students from varied backgrounds learn to save for the unexpected. After creating posters all but one child in a class of 30 said they would save for a rainy day. #ASW2020#afinlitfuture
Any change in habits is hard, and top marketing and sales brains in our society work on figuring out how to separate us from our money. Believing in the Power of Savings which we call a Money Tower, makes us appreciate that savings account. #ASW2020#SaveWithAPlan
Saving with a plan is a form of delaying gratification, and building Atomic Habits that help us become the person we want to be, and give us the self-confidence that comes with achieving a goal. Financial stability is a key for slef-confidence. #ASW2020#SaveWithAPlan
For children, we have a Save with a Plan worksheet available for free download at https://t.co/OwWViYMhqJ . For larger purchases, set up a bank account as the child's savings grow, and make regular deposits around allowances or parents paychecks/deposits. #SaveWithAPlan#ASW2020
To save for a plan today, setting up a special savings or wealth-building/retirement account is helpful, especially with automatic deposits. For children, a piggy bank or jar of money shows savings build. #ASW2020#SaveWithAPlan
Starting with very young children, it is empowering to help a child save for a large item that the parents either can't afford, or don't want to buy. If a child repeatedly asks for something, help them explore and follow a savings plan for viability. #ASW2020#SaveWithAPlan
At Bizzy Whiz Books, we teach 3-6th graders and up to have separate savings goals for wealth building, rainy day fund, and short and long-term goals.#ASW2020#SaveWithAPlan
Children's literature offers great opportunities. Bizzy Whiz Books offers a great book on savings for 4-8 year olds, with accompanying activities posted free on our website at https://t.co/OwWViYMhqJ. #CTSaves#ASW2020
