realistically what is wrong with this?
even a low paying job can earn you enough to invest a bit every month in the stock market and end up a millionaire by 65
>>
>>62598509
So 25yrs of Q&A? Lol
>>
>>62598522
Probably not when you're starting at 55

hope you get a flat. Cunt.

He'll last a year. He won't be able to handle the kids at all and is extremely likely to make a huge mistake handling them. He's a tech bro so he is probably a sex pest too. Parents will sniff him out in the first month. They will target him and they will win. This job is for out of work wine aunt realtors in the midst of active addiction, and even then only for 2-5 year stints at a time.
>>
>>62598530
by 55 you should have had 100k invested that already compounded and doubled 2-3 times
at that point working a shit job is ok because you only need to cover daily expenses until 65
>>
>>62598508
its funny that he wants to raise a glass, since he'll be, you know, driving.
>>
>>62598538
thats somewhat what I had in mind but already at 45 not 55. stacking shelves 8 hours a week to cover very basic needs the rest comes from my portfolio. I wouldnt even need to pay taxes since I would be under a certain threshold. maybe I am just romanticizing my idea but always imagine how nice it must be to just to turn your brain off and do your work without having to worry about consequences, responsibilities,deadlines or customers.

>until 65
Social security works for boomers now, but by their own admission the social security fund will be insolvent by 2050.
>>
>>62598556
the point is to not have to rely on social security and have your own retirement money
>>
>>62598508
I don't if this man has a family to provide for, if he's still paying his house or whatnot but as a non-american I'm amazed that you people seem to not have savings..how is it that you expect for things to always go great. Or maybe he does have savings but there are obligatory expenses so I don't want to judge harshly but still. Finding another job that pays well at an older age is difficult everywhere unfortunately: my dad was laid off when he was near 50 and only after 6 years he got another good paying job (by europoor standards I mean)

Grim. Absolutely fucking grim
>>

>QA

This role has been replaced by AI.

He should have learned some other skills in his 25+ years career.
>>
>>62598509
You can't be 55 years old and contribute to "tech" anymore.
May as well try and start a pro chess career at that age.
Sorry unc.

Why show it to the whole world? Just delete your linkedin account or abandon it wtf. Also if you're gonna be driving might as well become a UPS or truck driver at least pay is higher. This guy decided to change career and aim for the very bottom, unless he enjoys working with kids which for an old man is a big yikes!
>>
>>62598776
That’s not a possibility because he’s oversocialized.
>>
>>62598776
he didn't grow up in a nigger neighborhood where you get made fun for for sharing things and everyone has to live in a sort of a dark forest where they keep themselves hidden and afraid of being prey
>>
>>62598796
>t. oversocialized

dis nigga drivin a bus

>55yo man
>did not have ANY savings from his 250k a year Senior SWE job
How
How did this guy manage that
I don't understand how you can luck into a top tier job and just spend all your fucking money
>but what about his wife
He lives in cuckoldrado she obviously has a job
>>
>>62598829
1. you get a mortgage so you are in debt for the next 20 years
2. you get your dick wet so now you gotta pay for 2 people's 250k a year lifestyle
3. your spouse poops out a child, so now you can never have any spending money ever

You're supposed to pay off the mortgage
if he bought a house 25 years ago it would easily be paid off on a 250k salary+whatever his wife is earning because housing costs were much cheaper in 2001
So no, back to the drawing board, he's a dumbass and spent all his cash when he was on cloud nine and now he's a bus driver.
>>
>>62598852
anon do you really think his latina wife's whole extended family will be content with a 166k house with 2 bedrooms?
>>
>>62598574
How do you know he doesnt? He seems like he was forced into retirement early not that he is destitute from being laid off.

>>62598552
>stocking shelves

Do the wagies here seem fulfilled?

Look for something tangential to your hobbies, like working at a hardware store or being a line cook on a fishing charter boat or something.
>>
>>62598852
Anon the $200 cable bill, $300 phone bill and 12 subscription services add up
>>
>>62598508
You just know damn well this dude was probably telling kids online how easy the job market is before he got laid off lmao. The barely contained seethe in this post is very funny. Going from sitting on your ass making a high income to driving a fucking bus, that's a gigantic step down for the elder Gen Xer.

Faggots and foids needs social validation.

Probably more like 1200 for this guy.
>>
>>62598848
I make $120k, have a wife and child, live in a HCOL area, and still am able to save $1100 every two weeks. It’s called not being a fucking goy.

desu ups is based on union membership and seniority, it's literally you start out loading trucks adn then after 5 years they let you drive.

Though it's technically viable for him specifically because I've seen 75yo "drivers" who have seniority and cannot be fired.
>>
>>62598509
Bro he's been on tech wages for 25 years and couldn't wait more than a year without a job?? He should have decades saved up.
>>
>>62599115
Especially with markets at all time high
>>
>>62598509
Instead of testing some pozzed software that shouldn't exist he will be do something worthwhile now.
>>
>>62598829

hes still at least 10 years away from typical retirement age/being eligible to collect SS
>>
>>62599090
Something in your post is a lie. Maybe not everything, but you're lying about something.
t. 120k HCOL, no wife, no child.
