Anonymous wrote:Why not go into business yourself? My mom did it at 60. She's a travel agent and got laid off from her company where she had worked for five years. She became an independent contractor. The change has been incredible. We wish she had done it sooner. She makes more money than she has ever made in her life, yet she only has to work 25 hours a week (tops) and gets to work out of her home, which she loves. She has no stress - zero. She specializes in very high-end older clients who love working with someone who understands their needs and expectations. All her business is word-of-mouth and she regularly turns down new business. 20 years ago she was 50 and homeless!
She should write a book. Seriously, I love stories like this.
