A practical plan for the millions of people in their fifties and
sixties who find themselves out of work, unable to find a job, and
financially incapable of retiring, Elizabeth White shows how to get
past any blame or shame, overcome denial, and find a path to a new
normal. Elizabeth White has an impressive resume, which includes
advanced degrees from Harvard and Johns Hopkins and a distinguished
employment history. She started a business that failed and then
tried to reenter the work force in her mid-fifties, only to learn
that there is little demand for workers her age. For a while
Elizabeth lived in denial, but then had to adjust to her new
reality, shedding the gym membership, getting a roommate, forgoing
restaurant meals, and so on. She soon learned she wasn't alone:
there are millions of Americans in her predicament and worse,
exhausted from trying to survive and overcome every day. In 55,
Underemployed, and Faking Normal, Elizabeth invites you to look
beyond your immediate circumstances to what is possible in the new
normal of financial insecurity. You're in your fifties and sixties,
and may have saved nothing or not nearly enough to retire. It's too
late for blame or shame--and it wouldn't help anyway. What you want
to know is what you can do now to have a shot at a decent
retirement. "This relevant and well-researched book will appeal not
only to those 55 plus, but to the generation coming right behind
them who may face similar issues" (Booklist, starred review). 55,
Underemployed, and Faking Normal is a must-have for anyone whose
income has suddenly diminished or even disappeared. "Providing
practical solutions with a focus on retirement and maximizing
savings, White maintains authority with a realistic, empathetic
tone throughout. This deeply useful work will resonate with aging
readers of all income levels and situations" (Publishers Weekly).
If you're ready to get serious about feeling good again, this book
is for you.
