1. You are screwed. The sooner you accept it and move on, the sooner you will quit trying

to reclaim something that is never coming back.

I would waste your time telling you we are in a recovery and you should just keep the faith, etc., but you need advice that is best for you. 10 million people have dropped into poverty waiting for a non-existent recovery in the past 6 years, along with another 20-30 million who moved down into near poverty. Most of them and their kids will be there for the rest of their lives.

Until the people have recovered what they lost it is disingenuous to talk about a recovery.

At least you have a 401K if needed, and it probably will be. Regardless, if you want to preserve it, start right now thinking about how you can get some money coming in WITHOUT working for someone else. Lawn mowing, cooking, making something - whatever you can do.

Spend a little time each day thinking about it this way instead of trying to restart the past.

Btw - if I am full of it, and a resume does bring you a windfall, that's great. But the odds may be about as good as a lottery ticket.

Others may disagree, but that doesn't help you, when you need a plan. Other plans would be interesting.

Oh, and I'm 60, used to work on large computer networks, a soul-sucking job.
