The American Experience
The American experience for those of us who are over 50 today is filled with apprehension, anxiety, and a feeling of frustration that our golden years won't be so golden. This is no more apparent than in the today's workforce. Since 2007 there has been over a 20% increase in the number of age discrimination suits that have gone through the courts. Instead of maintaining a work force that is experienced and knowledgeable business today are weeding out workers that are 50 and over at a rate unparalleled in our history. Take countries like Australia for example. This countries business climate is the exact opposite of what is transpiring here in the United States. There, as well as many other countries around the world when workers reach a certain age they are looked upon with more reverence and respect for they are the ones who have gained knowledge and experience that automatically comes with age. They are the ones who know what is needed and required with the ability to produce goods and services with the quality that ensures public and customer satisfaction.

Top 5 Tips For Managing Stress and Anxiety At Work

Best Way To Make A Passive Income
I am sure that you have read, or heard about, all of the get rich quick schemes that revolve around real estate. And, if you're anything like me, I wondered how I would even buy real estate with self-employment income and mediocre credit. It is possible and without jumping through hoops. Before you read on, however, I want you to know that this doesn't mean you are going to start raking in millions or even thousands tomorrow.
