Is the better economy too late for people like me? [View all]
I lost my job in the mortgage industry in 2006. I have been working as a petsitter and using savings for 6 years now. My SS is all that I will have because my savings is just about gone.
The computer world has left me in the dust.
Now I'm 64 and no one wants to hire someone my age. And I don't think I could even begin to catch up now.
There must be millions out there just like me. I am just planning on working until my health goes. Then I will just go off and find and ice flow to sit on - except by then the ice flows will probably all be gone.
Such a strange turn of events. Who would have ever thought this could have happened the way it did. I did everything right. I put every bit into savings that I could. And the market crashed not once but twice. And then the whole mortgage industry went under.
Life is just so odd.
