[quote=Anonymous]Add another one to the list. I could have written your post OP. Life is hell for many men in their 50s since the recession in particular but I don't doubt it would be this way even if the recession didn't occur. Age discrimination is rampant for men. We had kids late due to IF and it is so stressful to worry about jobs/losing house/teens/college/retirement etc. DH had to take a paycut with the last two jobs. I'm trying to make up the difference with my work, but we come up short. Basically we have noticed that he almost always loses jobs to younger, either female or minority or both (his field is one where companies/orgs like to place their token female/minority leader to look PC). I'm sure they are probably paying those people less too which is sad. His current company never promotes from within. Given his age, he feels trapped because he's been burned so much before and the age discrimination now is just huge.[/quote]
