"I am convinced that planning for retirement really begins with getting rid of the word "retirement" altogether," writes Ruth Hayden, personal finance educator. "It is much more productive and, actually, more accurate to think of retirement as simply a developmental stage, much like other stages we have all gone through."
Hayden joined MPR News' Kerri Miller to talk about a different way to think about retirement.
