Being a middle aged person myself, I would like to somehow find a solution for being financially secure and being middle aged or elderly. This is for all middle aged/elderly people. Things have changed. Jobs with secure pension plans going out of business have cut down the amount of pension received.
Rampant divorces have struck a stake through savings. Many middle aged and elderly have had to go to their 401K's and savings plans just to survive. How about the costs of colleges for their children. How about the high cost of living nowadays and a real estate market that is going out of hand.
And particularly, the job market for those over 50. Middle aged people, to me are often the first ones fired and the last one hired. This is a critically large portion of our population, the Baby Boomers, and I believe this situation has to be discussed and solutions thought of and found.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to get this started?
