[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what's the strategy people? Turn 50 and pray nobody lays you off for 15 or more years? Or some private equity firm buys your company or it merges?

Doesn't anybody every take what they know, consult, and make serious money? And how many people, except these hi-sal DCUM'ers can retire at 58 and live another 30-35 years on what they saved? A couple of recessions, stock market crashes, zero interest, Republicans take social security away and even a great saver would suffer. Plus companies that go bankrupt and screw retirees over their pensions. That never happens?

What has actually worked for people so we don't go to work in fear?[/quote]

You'll always be afraid if you work for someone else.  Start a side business (a "hustle" as it's called today).  Take control of your own destiny and career.  Go after opportunities - don't wait for someone to give them to you.  If you're a star trek fan, watch this clip (don't "play it safe"):
