Hi my name is Chris, welcome to my site. You must be here because you are like I was, over 50 and broke. Or maybe you are over 50 or 60 and broke. What ever your age if you are broke and facing retirement, it's not a very good feeling is it? The thought of living just on social security is terrifying, especially because:
A. It's not a hell of a lot of money to live off of.
B. Who knows if its going to be around much longer.
There are probably one of three reasons why you gravitated to this site.
1. You thought you were going to stay young forever and never planned ahead. (which is what I was guilty of)
2. You had all your money invested with Bernie Maddoff or someone like him, thinking you were set for life. (we know what happened there)
3. You had your own business, and lost it because of the economic collapse. Either way
you woke up one day with a knot in your stomach worrying what the future has in store for you. And not only you, if you have children and grandchildren your plans for making their life easier is gone also. Well I was over 50 when I realized that. Now I'm 59 and I sleep a lot easier these days. No, I didn't become a millionaire over night. Or a millionaire at all for that matter. (but I'm still trying) but I did take charge of my life. This is not a get rich quick web-site like we all have seen. You know the ones where you see some guy standing by a yacht, or a Mercedes, with a picture of a nice mansion, saying he got all that by working 12 hours a week. Well if you believe those ads I have a bridge I could sell you real cheap (in Brooklyn). It just doesn't happen that way. The truth is I don't own a yacht, or any boat. I drive a Dodge Stratus, and I work off my kitchen table. After your anger, and after you stop feeling sorry for yourself, you need to do something with your life. It's not easy starting over, especially being over 50. But you can't crawl into a hole and cover yourself up either. Well you can, but what fun would that be. You need to take action. You can either try to find a job, or start a home based business. I chose the home business route. There are many to choose from, so take your time and find one that works for you. For me I felt the internet was the way to go. It is the future of all business. It takes time so dont expect the money to come rolling in. It takes time. But once you get over the hump, it's a piece of cake. Just don't giveup. I am providing 2 links on the top of this page for the 2 opportunities that I started with. I hope they help you. Take advantage of them. Just remember, if you worked all your life, and are facing retirement without enough money, what makes you think getting another job will get you where you want to be???????

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Broke blogosphere. Check out mine, The Broke Blog, for ideas. I have been blogging since November of 2009. I'm not yet 50 nor broke but wanted to help out the unemployed. I went all the way and formed a nonprofit, BrokeButNotForLong, Inc! Here are my links:
http://blog.brokebutnotforlong.org/

I strongly urge you to get a twitter account; it is a powerful social media tool. Let me know if you would like to link to my site.
Best Wishes,
Sandra Rogers
I RECOMMEND THIS SITE TO ALL. CHRIS HAS BEEN VERY PATIENT AND HELPFUL WITH ME. HE MADE ME REALIZE THAT STARTING AGAIN AT 54 YEARS OLD IS NOT AS SCARY AS I THOUGHT. LOOKING FORWARD TO BRIGHTER DAYS
ReplyDeleteThanks chris extra income while i am on unemployment is what i am looking for i'll try to keep you posted on my success
ReplyDeletemy biggest problem is fear. i'm afraid to plundge into the unknown especialy at age 53.
ReplyDeleteJenny I feel your pain. My fear is the computer I'm 60 years old and dont know my way aroud the computer to well. But I bought that program that Chris recomended and things are falling into place. Chris was right it does take time. but I'm getting the hang of it. Jenny dont give up
ReplyDeleteI first saw this on the channel 12 website WPB and told my mother about it. Wouldnt you know it I got hooked on the business at age 23. Now me and my mother are doing it together. It's a good thing because she didnt know her way around a computer.
