I beg to differ with the title of the article. No one is recession proof if you income is dependent on a traditional job working for someone else. However you income can be recession proof if you understand and utilize leverage in a business you own, purchase assets instead of liabilities, and most importantly never believe you are a victim of anything-economy, recession, bad luck, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with what I said, check out this site and watch the two videos. It changed my perspective on money, jobs and all around life.

Thanks for the helpful article. It’s daunting thinking about looking for a job when you’re in your sixties.

I’m on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn but haven’t used them in terms of networking for a job. I use Facebook to keep up with family and friends. Twitter, which I signed up for a few weeks ago is offering helpful information on consumer topics. I follow Consumer Reports, The Consumerist, FDA Recalls, Food Safety, Public Citizen, and other tweets that offer information for my blog The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide. I also follow the ProBlogger.

Some pretty sound advice…and keeping skills, being computer savvy are extremely important. I do get a little tired of all the social networks…and know one has to focus on one or two, or you will be working them all for hours.
THe benefits..I am not totally sold…ALso keep in great shape. Eat well, get sleep, exercise and LOOK GOOD. There is a lot of competition out there.
