Well, technically, they're not wrong. It is harder for women to amass as much money as men. When you factor in lower pay, years out of the workforce to be caregivers, and that they tend to know less than men about investing, yes, it can be harder to gather up enough for a comfortable retirement. (Generally, there are plenty of exceptions and I'm one of them.) They do live longer, and they do tend to leave money matters to others. Those are just some facts gleaned from research over the years.
But to say they'll "never" retire is just lazy reporting. Sure, there are challenges, but every one of them is surmountable. Women can educate themselves about money. It's not that hard. They can take an active hand in money matters in their household. They can lobby for increased pay, or work a side hustle to bridge the gap. They don't have to be SAHM's or caregivers to parents, but if they make that choice they can make an informed choice and do it in such a way that it doesn't jeopardize their future. Can't do much about living longer, but taking some steps will make it so they have enough even if they live to be 100.
I wish more media outlets would focus on overcoming those challenges rather than throwing up their hands and saying, "Oh, well, it can never happen."
