[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m only 40 so if we are going into a Great Depression, I’ll be okay. [/quote] Really? I'm turning 40 and feel like this is a horrible time for it. I have kids to feed. [/quote] You could be 60 with two kids starting college and no prospect of getting another job when you lose this one. And your retirement accounts just dropped by half.[/quote] Yes, it could be worse. But as a 40 year old whose whole career field is being vaporized (research - I'll lose my fed job, and all the contracts and academic grants are being terminated in the private sector), I don't feel like i have great prospects for a new job either. Better to be 20-30 with no dependents and a long runway for a career pivot. [/quote]
