[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think older workers need to consider moving to easier jobs and lower salaries. It’s not always a continuous upward path of improvement for a worker. Sometimes you’re not as good as you were twenty years ago. Also your health costs rise sharply as you get older. A lot. [/quote] Exactly this, and what I am preparing for. I am 47 and assuming at some point I will have to downshift. Holding on as long as I can, but at least debt free and on track to be mortgage-free (or able to be if I need to) within 5 years. Hopefully can hold out for 6-7 more years to get my kids all the way through college debt-free. I actually love doing work like building, repairs, and carpentry. Maybe I’ll become a low-cost handyman. [/quote] Stop responding to yourself.[/quote] ???[/quote]
