(Source: Ted.com) Listening to Elizabeth White I realized that getting out of the market after being 50 years old is scary for many people, and a nightmare for others. Only a few manage to enjoy a comfortable life after that.
The information she provides is realistic but scary. Despite all the negative feelings this reality brings, she is making a strong decision to reverse the situation and find solutions to share with all the affected people that need help.
Through this link you can access the full video and transcript. I hope you enjoy it and please, if you feel identified with what she is going through, or you know someone who is going through a similar situation, please let us know how you or them are dealing with it in the comments below.

The bridge job is a bridge between full-time work and retirement, or a short-term job following a full-time career. Those most commonly attracted to bridge jobs are workers who are approaching full retirement but are not quite ready to totally leave the workforce. Did you ever try bridgework?
