The Deloitte study warns of a "resume' tsunami" once economic recovery begins, especially among Gen Xers.

Yeah, we'll they may have resumes, but the Baby-Boomers will still have the jobs. I am a well paid Boomer manager. I am 63. Why should I "fire myself" and retire at 66??! We'll, I won't. I am healthy and fit and maybe at 70 I'll consider retirement. But just maybe. And the X'ers waiting..will just have to wait. That's life. Get over it. And the comment, "once economic recovery begins" is a joke. That may take 10 years! Sorry Xer's, you may be out of luck. Poor timing on when you were born. Lot's of luck.

I will never retire. I will be working until the day I die. Not a problem, since my great-grandparents all did. Only my grandparents and parents had the luxury of retirement.

Medical debt saw to that for us, but I'm not complaining. God gave us beautiful babies and they had a rough entry into this world. Doctors, hospitals, nurses are skilled service providers who earned every penny we paid them.

What medical debt didn't wipe out, this latest down turn is eating away. Our nest eggs are shrinking despite choosing "safe" options.

I plan to live life now and hopefully drop dead right around the time my children need money for college. I'm worth substantially more dead than alive!

Why not? You seem to enjoy toying with those that work for you until you get tired of them and fake up some reason to get them fired.. rather surprised they aren’t on to your pattern there yet.
