"2. Believing the myth that "A man is the plan": In the 1950s, the best wayfor a woman to acquire wealth was to marry a rich man. This is no longertrue. Four out of 10 women are the primary breadwinners for their families,and women are creating wealth in their own right, author Liza Mundy reportsin her book, "The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners IsTransforming Sex, Love and Family."
"Despite these advances, some women still rely on meeting Mr. Right as aretirement strategy."

Hmmm...it seems to me that 'number 2' is the retirement plan that most women
still operate under. After all, as Alan King observed, every man's obituary
will invariably  include the phrase: "survived by his wife".
