Personal finance with Ruth Hayden: Rethinking retirement
Ruth Hayden joined MPR News host Kerri Miller to discuss how to retire "in stages."
More people are choosing to go into partial retirement — with the goal of earning money a little longer and being mentally engaged in productive work a little longer.
A few highlights:
Hayden: Instead of retiring be prepared to work longer into your life, cutting back from a full time schedule and probably doing something you thought you'd never do.
Hayden: Almost 90% of women will become single by choice or by providence.
Hayden: Ageism is a reality. We need to have a workaround. Create a skill based resume of all the things you know how to do and have done. Start there and ask yourself where else can I use this?
