[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we keep hearing most people will have to work until their 60s, and at the same time we have people who say you will be lucky to still be employed by 60

Thats a problem...[/quote]

You missed a post I guess, its not that you cant be employed, you just won't be employed as a professional.  Lots of 50 and 60 years working as gig workers, home health care workers, hotel maids, walmart greeters, etc.[/quote]

That's terrible. Is that the future path of the American worker? Professional before 50 and hig worker post 50...I really hope that isn't our future [/quote]

That seems to be the consensus on many threads.  You need to save and invest aggressively, to plan to be laid off around 55  and not find professional work again.  Alternatively, you need to advance to leadership and be an executive where age is less of a liability.  Of course its a pyramid of musical chairs, there are not enough leadership positions for everyone to move up, so most workers need to make other plans -- not to mention majority of workers dont have the opportunity for a variety of reasons (including prejudice and favoritism, not just skills and aptitude) [/quote]
