Fired at 52 After a Lifetime of Hard Work—What Now?! 😰

I'm a 52-year-old woman who just got laid off after decades of climbing the corporate ladder. My husband and I have no kids, and while we've managed to build up about $470k in net worth (half in investments, half in home equity), I can't help but worry about what comes next. I only got serious about investing in my late 30s, and sometimes I regret not starting sooner, but I don't regret the amazing travel experiences and memories we've made together. Now, facing unemployment in my 50s, I'm overwhelmed by anxiety about job hunting at this age, office politics, and whether I should pivot careers or double down on what I know. I feel lost and honestly, a bit scared. Has anyone else been through this? What would you have done differently in your 40s? Any advice on navigating this tough spot would mean the world to me. 🙏 #JobCareer #Career #CareerTransition
