THIS WILL concern you when you turn 55. There are many people at this age and some older that have been looking for work for at least one to three years with no success.

What is happening in this world? People don’t give it a second thought about these people of this age, like it’s their fault their job closed down. What will happen to them? No job, no benefits, no food stamps, no help from our government.

Have they forgotten about these people?

Many are sick or have sickness in the family and can’t get medical help.

Families need jobs and insurance. Does anyone care? All they are asking for is work; not to be given to them on a silver platter. Can they help it if businesses are cutting back or closing? All it is doing is putting extra work on the ones that have jobs. They can not help if they were planning to retire on the jobs they had. Not all people will be able to do that.

Now these people are in desperate need of help. Also, they will look at your credit score. What does that have to do with it? What do they expect? And why do I know this? Because it happened to me. Can you believe that?

All these people are in desperate need of help. This could be you. Does anything matter to anyone? Does anyone care? Think about it.
