[quote=Anonymous]My husband's job ended after 25 years when his unit was dismantled. He received a year's severance which was quite generous. During the year after the layoff, he did not aggressively look for a job. Once the severance ended, he started applying for jobs but has not secured anything. I think it is a combination of age (59), high salary at former job, and lack of desire to network and market himself. I would not want to be in his position. I am similarly situated but in a secure job, thankfully, that pays twice what DS made. I have not pressured him to find a job because it will only add to the stress and with some adjustments, we can make due on one salary. We have investments and a second property we can sell to pay for college, retire debt and invest a bit more. I can work another 10 years (currently 55) if I am healthy and the money is still good. Things can always be worse.[/quote]
