Living At 50 And Being Happy

In today's world 50 is considered very old to most kids ages 14-25. In the working world you are easily replaced. With the law in Kansas which is called "at will" any employer has the right to fire or let you go for no reason at all. This law does not help anything.

With the economy and unemployment rate so high there are just not enough jobs to go around. How do you survive at the age of 50? I could complain about many like being let go for silly reasons after working 6 1/2 years for a company that I put my heart into. Instead I am trying to remain positive even with the possibility of losing all I worked for due to unemployment.

I have ran out of unemployment and the world can really be scary today but worrying has got me nothing but health issues which I cannot afford at all. Over the next few weeks I will be pushing onward to obtain employment or trying to make a living. I will let you know the ups and downs of my endeavors. At the job center I have seen many people around 50 or older being the people still seeking employment.

The days of your employer keeping you because of your dedication in helping them achieve success are gone. There is a way to survive all of this and keep everything you have worked hard to keep. Where there is a will there is a way. And not to offend anyone but a belief and faith in a higher power is my way of letting go of anger and moving forward.

Together we will make these the best years of our lives as we are the majority being on the bottom end of the baby boom. You will get encouragement, inspiration and if I can find employers that seem to hire youngsters like us that enjoy strong work ethics I will let you know.
