I am 70.. Just got my second short story published. Did my first radio podcast interview. Working on a book. And while I am white, I'm not wealthy. I am, however enjoying a happy, late marriage to a warm, delightful man who appreciates me, as I do him. We married when I was 58, BTW.We plan to relocate to his former home city - New Orleans where I will be advocating for youth at risk. Meantime, on an almost daily basis I see people under 30 who cannot write, much less string together a coherent sentence. They do not read (well, just texts!). And they have zero interest in anything except their evening's dinner plans. To the over 50's out there - hang in..we are needed... if only to coach these whippersnappers on their dreadful spelling!!
@@itannoysme3348 I believe the OP feels it may be necessary to make this qualifying statement given the regrettable state of today's politics and hideously divisive, false narratives that abound.
It is a motivational story! It seems like the whole world is facing a huge generational gap while the society is moving into a 4.0 industrial revolution. How to reconcile the past and be ready for the future is probably the only way to go?
I am 51 and I am regretting not investing in stocks ever since but still grateful i kept money in the money market. With about $200k maturing soon, i plan investing in the stock market. What stocks should I look into as a newbie to safely grow my money
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately $950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and I am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
These shows never discuss the side hustle. If you are 50 and still making the same money from 20 years ago, look into doing something on the side (cleaning homes, riding people to work, making baked goods, making candles, teaching a skill like sewing, renting out a room, etc). Many young earners need a tax preparer. An ad in the paper or Facebook will do wonders when you're consistent. It saved me lots of money and time by finding things i can do on my own.
You cant make very good money doing cleaning or candles , if your over 50 go where theres an industry that needs people badly In fact they hire over 50 everyday Even over 60 even 70 year olds And after a few years of experience you can make 70 to 100 thousand a year ! I'm talking about the truck driving industry, older drivers are retiring fast and the new milineals are not willing to work these kinds of jobs , so they really do need drivers now , it's a great career and just in the past few years the pay has doubled , all you need to do is find a good school , financial aid really is available , you just pay back your student loan after you get hired , once you learn how to drive an 18 wheeler its lots of fun out there , so go where you are needed and go to an industry where older people are welcome and respected, you can become a truck driver , America's number one job !! I did it , you can too
I am from Norway, 56 year old, and his advices on LinkedIn Learning really helped me to find a good/interesting and well paid job at the age of 55 (in competition with 19 others) :-) ! By the way, not all employers have (unfair) prejudices against people over 50 !
The "hardwiring" exists across all generations. At the stages of maturity, we are interior in our focus. At the beginning of our careers, people look outward, judging and "othering", by Age in particular, etc., etc. There is no proving these truths, there is ON L Y living into them, until wisdom becomes broadly valued across the entire human cultural spectrum.
I read a stat recently that over 50% of Americans have been fired at "least once" in their career. And they are talking about '"fired" specifically, not "laid off". So its much more common then allot of people may realize.
I was "fired" from my previous job because they claimed that they were eliminating my position. 2 days (yes, days) later, they hired a man 20 years younger than me who knew absolutely nothing about the job and to this day is incapable of performing the needed tasks without help from others. He was sent from the company that had purchased the company I worked for. That parent company has a reputation for eliminating anyone over the age of 50 unless they are upper management. The team I managed has had over 100% turnover since I left because everyone hates working for this fool. He takes at least 3 days a month off and has a reputation for coming in late and leaving early. He has a lock on the job because he is a friend of someone in management at the parent company. The company has lost tens of thousands of dollars in revenue because this fool is incapable of doing the job. How many times have we seen or heard of things like this? Nepotism, Agism, Sexism, and discrimination based on religion. Almost all of these are impossible to prove unless someone made the mistake of writing it down and sending it to you as a part of your termination. NOTHING has gotten better over the years. It used to be that there was some sort of loyalty between employer and employee. These days, you are just used toilet paper to be flushed away.
I have to be a stickler, but people in their 50's are not Boomers. The youngest boomers are in their mid to late 60's right now. Gen X is in their late 40's and 50's.
I'm a 52 year old firefighter medic who wants to retire early, because I'm not happy with my job after 17 years. I'm finding it hard to find something that will pay the same until I can collect my pension at 55. I definately want out of the current field I'm in now. Is it possible to start a second career at this point in my life?
My mom became a "coder" after being a federal accountant for any agency for 25 yrs. She was 50 when she took early retirement. She move to Raleigh. She took one of those 1 yr tech camps. Now she makes 100k and livings in a upscale downtown condo.
helpmenow7 Ha ha it was for me dragged myself in even when sick was only late twice in a year....still got made redundant they kept bosses sister and apprentices on ..what a surprise
helpmenow7 Not at all, and you don’t need to be old to benefit. I got hired by an engineering firm because, having worked out well as a temp through an agency, I stopped in nearly every morning about 10:00. Often, I was was hired on the spot directly through a supervisor because this or that person failed to show up or called in sick after the work day started. I was officially hired six months after the temp agency first sent me there.
Many of those people are uneducated. I know plenty of older folks that have found job after being unemployed.... You just have to work harder AND smarter....Attitude is everything. If you THINK you are too old, then guess what, you probably are...
Absolutely! Same way a thief or scam artist is the best advisor on how to prevent getting robbed. An online hacker can advise on cybersecurity measures much better than an educated security expert. A person who is poor likely knows how to best source items for the cheapest prices, etc. You need to know the negatives of every situation in order to truly guide others. If all you understand are the upsides, your advice will be lopsided/impractical. There are always at least 2 sides to true knowledge.
@@sageduff4747 thats not a true boomer. The baby boom was a post ww2 phenom. Boomers were imvolved in the 60s protest generation etc. I know people say boomers were born as late as 64, but they have nothing in commom with the people born in 45. Any real boomer was at least retired age the time of this video. 1964 is already almost generation x. Generation x is vastly different. And there were a lot of people in between.
The solution to the American unemployment lies here in our country. Take my advise, stop giving them jobs and visas. Majority of them working there are not properly qualified or do not have proper documents. They are on par with the Mexicans. Stop outsourcing your jobs also to our country because qualified professionals here are not getting those jobs who have experience and additional training. Our govt is dependent on outsourced jobs and it goes to their party workers or to the caste that they want to appease. Be they in the private or govt sector. Using the reservation policy for their political ascent they are destroying our job prospects here and also at the same time destroying our chance of immigrating . Such immigration benefits are reserved for the elite few here. Check out the standard of our universities and professional colleges here, from where our work force immigrate to USA. Most of them are substandard, unrecognized by the govt and with no skills to be learned from. Many do not exist at all. But they make it offshore and succeed due to their advanced position in our society. Pressurise our govt to take care of our employment needs instead of sending "professionals" to chase and seize aliens in your country. Scrutinize thoroughly the credentials of our work force reaching there. They are from our point of view social cheaters.

Fantastic! I am inspired by your story and your writing!
"And while I am white, I'm not wealthy." An odd thing to say. It implies most white people ARE wealthy, which is far from the truth.
You are 100% right. I wonder sometimes how these young people ever graduated from school, when they cannot even write one sentence.

Her name is "Dianne Sarah Olson" Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
she appears to be well-read and educated as I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank for sharing.

Thank you! You’re wonderful for sharing this!
Just a plug for a book. Thanks.
Just finished the book and did the worksheets. I hope it will help in the months to come. Staying positive!
So... did it help?
He didn't say anything. I got nothing out of the interview.

The true tragedy is even you find jobs or ways but no one recruit or accept you . How to resolve it please?

This video came out 7 years ago. The youngest boomers were born in 1964, so they would’ve been 53 when this video was made.
how about underemployment? Most people will be underemployed in the future
@Joey COCO And the corporations that hire the coyettes that bring them here.
They are right now and have been for 30 years!
Good point.

@@lilrog0909wow! So inspirational…did she get her first job as a coded free 50? Any reference involved or just by herself?

What is the main reason...for so many firings in America?
I was into breeding small dogs, was wonderful, and the money was great, But not a puppy mill, they were our kids
Juju Rellama and your point is??
THIS IS RIDICULOUS! BOOMERS AREN"T IN THEIR 50's !!
True.
Which fields may a man who aged over 45 change and study please?
I just realized how condescending Gail is
Older folks show up to work. Is that a bad thing

There are people who are 40 and older who are homeless and can't find work Hmm.
Many of those people are uneducated. I know plenty of older folks that have found job after being unemployed.... You just have to work harder AND smarter....Attitude is everything. If you THINK you are too old, then guess what, you probably are...
It depends on brainpower and luck as well.
I could have said the same thing after a few cocktails and a blunt.
For a man there is no such age of retiring..work till u die
So getting fired many times makes you a expert job coach?
Absolutely! Same way a thief or scam artist is the best advisor on how to prevent getting robbed. An online hacker can advise on cybersecurity measures much better than an educated security expert. A person who is poor likely knows how to best source items for the cheapest prices, etc.

How this be for the 50's crowd and be about Boomers? Boomers are all 70+?
No. The last year boomers were born in was 1964. This video is 7 years old. That means they would’ve been 53 when this video came out.

SHH! You speak the truth!
one major pitfall is that older people are and stay set in their ways.
Prove it. this is yet another ageist myth.
its more employers will NOT train esp when a person gets older(esp over 40)
laurel jade No, I think it it is because they assume older people will cost them money for healthcare, call in sick frequently.
Darren Crispin many don’t train the younger workers either.
I guarantee that anyone “set in their ways” is not an easy hire and has more to do with personal attitude than age.
Reinvent yourself after 50??? In corporate ...it's over..anyone who thinks they working in corporate after 55..you failed at life
Not true at all! I did this at the age of 55 and even got a very good and well paid job ;-) !
BS.
