For women, saving for retirement has never been an easy or linear thing. It’s a big part of why Ellevest exists — to help women invest for their futures, not the ones predicted on data from the lives of men. We want women — and everyone — to be able to plan for the long, fulfilling lives they deserve.

But our relationship to the concept of retirement is changing at a cultural level, too. These days, while plenty of women certainly wouldn’t sneeze at a traditional, stop-working-at-65 retirement, plenty more just … don’t want that kind of life. That’s what we learned when we asked our Instagram community a simple question: “What does your dream retirement look like?” (Also learned: A lot of you see visions of dairy products in your future. 🍦)

I loved seeing these answers, so I hope they can inspire and get you dreaming of your own.
