[quote=flyer]From what we’ve heard from friends in tech, you’d better have your F. U. funds and/or passive income rolling in at least by the time you’re 50, and that also seems to apply to lots of other fields today, as more and more people become more and more dispensable in the workplace as they grow older. I’ve always believed that was the smart way to go, even if you continue working past 50.[/quote]
Regardless of the situation, everyone should start working on their go-to-hell fund as soon as they start working. Your goal shouldn’t be to be gainfully employed past 50, but to be able to say Fvck it at an age where you still have your health and can still enjoy life.
btw., wrt the topic – sure jobs can always be brought back. Question is, how much more are you willing to pay for those products?
