Lost my job for the second time in four years. I'm 62 and have always worked in IT. I feel my chances of getting another job are real slim. I'd like to retire, but I am dependent in part on Social Security (a government program for saving for your retirement).
I still have s mortgage to pay. The plan was to work until 65, at which time the loan would be paid off, the house would be sold to add to retirement funds. I have a second home, to which we had always planned to retire to.
But that all has been bollixed. I am collecting unemployment insurance (another program to ehich I have always contributed), but that is only good for a few months and I must document that I actively looking for a new job.
Which I may never get.
That's why you may have noticed my posting has increased. Anyone with experience in this situation, I'd gladly listen to any advice.
You guys are great. Thanks.
