Starting over at 50 years old! Can it be done? | |
BlueRidge Doom  User ID: 69951555  United States03/27/2016 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What can you do with a Liberal Arts degree? I saw one Bachelors course a few years ago on "Lesbian Dance Theory"  Have you noticed that we always kill off the good guys and let the demons run amok? But don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride. Follow God. |

Of course you can regroup and reinvent a new life. Once you have licked your wounds, found what in your life is it you love a hobby a sport.. dive into it. Don't get desperate to replace your wife that will come in time, if your not looking the best things happen when you least expect them. |

Unexpected events overtake the swift, the mighty, the knowledgeable. But wisdom preserves alive its owners. The wisdom you have has taken time and pain to acquire. I say you're good to go. Try being a huge son of a bitch for a while. Really give God something to forgive! |

| Larry D. Croc User ID: 70736097 United States03/27/2016 03:37 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You CAN start over. From one who has done it...I've had a job I love (and which pays me well) for the last 15+ years. Remarried almost 8 years ago and am madly in love. Getting ready to retire the end of this year and looking forward to the next set of adventures. I'd start walking 30 minutes a day (cheap and it works). As others have said, you'll find out who your true friends are after the divorce and change in circumstance; the others will fall away or simply try to bring you down. Get out of the basement; it's a place to sleep and not a place to hide. Luck isn't needed, you've got what you need to accomplish what you want to accomplish. "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it." Ronald Reagan The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." Ronald Reagan |

| Yes User ID: 70051572 Australia03/27/2016 04:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dye your hair a dark brown but not jet black. Jet black looks fake. All this will both physically and mentally take 20 years off you. As for jobs apply, apply, apply. Be creative in your emails. Sound energetic. Leave the date off as to when you got your degree. Only give last 15 years on your resume. Don't put date of birth on resume. People will assume your in your mid 30s in job applications. And once you get the interview you just need to wow with your experience and energy. And yes I've been through this in the last 3 years. Had exactly this advice; ignored it for a year whilst I felt sorry for myself; then followed it to the letter and within 3 months had a decent job and felt great; life is great met a nice woman. So yes, the only thing stopping you is yourself! Good luck mate! |

I agree with other poster's about taking steps each day in a positive direction. Change old habits, seek out new things and new places. Keep negativity out of your life and face the future square on and without fear. You will be be alright. |

| PACNWGUY-01 User ID: 70621256 United States03/27/2016 04:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Millions of people your age had to start over after the 2008 recession. It's about your mind set. If you have a positive "can do" attitude you can do anything. Take a look at old Bernie. He is doing it right in front of you. 50 is where many people break out and accomplish huge success. There will be a time in the not so distant future when they will hunt Liberals with DOGS. Democrats vote for what benefits them while Republicans vote for what benefits the country. |

Learn to be selfish and focus on yourself, enjoy the freedom, and learn to be your own best company. You will feel so strong and confident afterwards, that life will take on a different look ......good luck, and yes it can be done. |

You might well enjoy at least some of the life extension technology in the coming decades, so yea, maybe take up some new hobbies get a quad copter or something. I would first thing find a job. Then while you are working to get money to move out of your parents basement, start working outo and get inshape, this will help you with the ladys. Then I would move out of my parents basement, after you have money. Then later either make sure your head is shaved all the help way, if that makes you look good, some men do some dont, if you don't look in to some hair transplants. Get over your wife, move on, the longer you have anger towards her or resent her the harder it will be. Once you start doing these things the better life will get. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71897996  Ireland03/27/2016 04:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You are asking a question to which you already know the answer. Whether it is yes or no depends on your mindset. Considering you probably have 25 good years of working life left I would say definitely yes. But no procrastinating. Get your life plan written down and get to work. I am in my late 40's and am going back to college part time to get the qualification that will boost my income power immeasureably after years of low pay. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 71896610 United Kingdom03/27/2016 04:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Learn to trade stock index futures (NQ). With $5000 you could make 250-500 a day, you could also lose this amount or more, so training is very important. the cheapest and best training I have found is easyemini.com. it costs $80 for training to get started.You need a computer and internet connection. You can then practice for free and with no risk on a demo account untill you feel you are ready to trade live. This job is scaleable so you can add contracts as you get better. (it is as easy to trade 10 contracts as 1, but you need a larger aaccount. the account will build as you become more succesful. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23474647 . Make as much money as possible in the deadend jobs because it goes a long ways in a tradeing account. you goal is not to quit the job untill makeing $500/DAY IN LIVE TRADING. You should be able to do this in 2-3 hours aday.(9am-11.30am) and work other jobs as you improve at trading. I beleive you can do this and be succesful. I would pray to God and ask his quidence about this and if it is part of his plan for you. The fuck kinda advise is that? GAMBLING??? Rare is the bird that emerges from margin at profit. |
