Although stereotypes are changing, women are still more likely to serve as caretakers than men are, meaning they may accumulate less income and benefits due to their time absent from the workforce. Research shows that 31% of women are currently or have been caregivers during their careers. Women who are working also tend to put less money aside for retirement.

These numbers may seem overwhelming, but you don’t have to be a statistic. With a little foresight, you can start taking steps now, which may help you in the long run. Here are three steps to consider that may put Cadence Design Systems employees ahead of the curve.

Talk about money. Nowadays, discussing money is less taboo than it’s been in the past, and it’s crucial to take control of your financial future.

The more comfortably you can talk about your future, the more confident you may be to make important decisions when they come up.
