Sucks that I've been productive for 40 years and one bad quarter now could land me on the street like an old used up dishrag.
Surely, they could find someone young and inexperienced to do 90% of what you do for 40% of the pay, right? [Sarcasm2]Quote:

Some of it is annual contract work that rebooks year after year.
One of my client's purchasing guys decided they were not going to use our company any longer - through no fault of ours. My contact found out, and made a huge fuss with exec mgmt that they couldn't complete two highly visible and critical upcoming projects without me. That and some smooth plays from our execs got us back into the account and consequently last year the company closed the largest ___ platform sale in NA for a particular OEM that also has three letters in its name. Do you think any of that matters? Hell no.
Hopefully you're still there after the dust clears. Unfortunately we both know how age plays. The closer to retirement, the more they look for any excuse to escort you out.Quote:

Ha, You are a very curious one to see other dudes beards. Is it because you cannot have one yourself?Quote:

Heres what you could do to fight the age thing... Get some skinny jeans, horned rim glasses, grow a beard, shave your head, get a dirty cardigan and one of those little commie hats and some 80s sneakers, some kind of animal tattoo on your arm, an iPhone, iPad, iMac, a fixed gear bicycle to ride to work, an rtd ecopass, and some organic food in a mason jar inside your beat up messenger bag. Show up to work tomorrow and act like a fucking idiot and just chat up your boss about the new microbrew/distillery you are opening in some shitty part of Denver.Quote:

I know mine is not, but I've made it my priority.
Good luck, and I hope that you're just being overly worried and everything goes fine long enough for the F-You money to kick in.

Like a true financial advisor, HoneyBadger did not answer my question, and at the same time over complicated his answer in a way that suggested I chose a product that has high fees. :p
We'll get it right. Lol
Hey now, I answered 80% of your question! And all mutual funds have fees: either they are loaded, or "no-load" but you want ones with proven track records of out-performing the market and a low expense ratio.Quote:

True, but by May of this year, I will have crossed the inversion line on this one. I.e.: 529 will have more money in it than the current value of my "arsenal"Quote:
