It's not an illusion, there ARE more little old ladies in the retirement homes than little old men. On average, women in the U.S. live longer than their male counterparts, making outliving their income in retirement a very real possibility for many. It's one of the unique challenges that women face when it comes to long- term financial planning. According to a 2019 study from T. Rowe Price measuring gender and retirement:

Whether you are single, married or divorced, it's important that you understand how to manage longevity and other financial challenges in retirement.
