Starting Over After 50? 5 Things to Do Before You Lose Your Job

What would you do if you lost your job tomorrow? If you're over 50 and starting over feels overwhelming, now might be the time to start building a Plan B before you actually need one. I'm 52, I've spent nearly 30 years working in advertising, and I've been thinking a lot about what would happen if my paycheck suddenly disappeared. The reality is that losing your job after 50 can bring some pretty serious challenges, especially when you have a family, financial responsibilities, and no intention of retiring anytime soon. In this video, I'm sharing five things I believe we should all be thinking about while we're still employed. From understanding how much money we actually need to exploring additional income streams, recognizing the value of our experience, and building an exit strategy, these are practical steps that could help us prepare for an uncertain future. I'm not a financial expert, and I certainly don't have everything figured out. I'm working through these same questions myself and sharing what I'm learning along the way. 🎁 FREE GUIDE: YOUR SECOND ACT RESET Feeling stuck or unsure about what comes next?
