Some people in healthcare will be job hunting soon as well. The advent of the electronic health record will slash labor needs tremendously. Im already in battle mode, I work with 2 Doctorates of Pharmacy who want to do my peon tech work so they can stay viable and needed. With no work rules they might just win..........of course Ill go kicking and screaming but hey I can sit here and watch Vince Vaughn all day..........you see there is always a trade off .

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('retiredguy', 'O')f course. I've had a number of people, who made no preparation for retirement, tell me that they will work until they die. That's completely delusional.
But there are still old guys like me who know COBOL and BAL and there are millions and millions of lines of that code still doing productive work every day. Until my brain starts dribbling out of my nose, I can still throw code.

Or get fired for incompetence/incontinence.

[Jester]

Or they'll get fired shortly before they'd be retiring, then go and shoot their boss...

Not everyone was wrong. You need to listen to the smart guys. said, that in two years Billl gaytes will have the same amount of money as you will, nothing.

there is total colapse of the economic system where everyone will loose everything. They will throw gold and silver into the streets. Why? Because there will be no food, and you cant eat gold.

You can print this and hang it on your wall and eat it in two years.

Right, Ludi. That's pretty much where I expect to be. We are supporting our kids now, getting them established, so that they can support us later when we are no longer able to work. Actually, I look forward to the 19th century lifestyle!

Have no idea what we spent on our kids, and don't care. It was worth it at any price. They are 40 and 42 years old now, have contributed to the family far more than they were ever given. I think the "cost" of raising kids must have been calculated by an academic/banker, who had never experienced such a thing!

We've sort of adopted a family, but I doubt the kid will be around to care for us in our old age, he'll probably be long gone by then...

I do like the idea of non-blood-related families though. In fact, this kid is himself adopted by his grandparents and not a blood relative to any of the rest of the family since his grand-dad died a couple weeks ago.
