We get a lot of great consultants because their portfolios are busted and see no sign of recover. Most are simply doing good to stay even and being engineers can do the math to see when the nest egg runs empty far before their life force does.

They are in demand now. I hope it holds out long enough for some kind of true recovery but I am afraid it will not hold out and any recovery will be long in the making.

That’s really interesting. I had no idea consultants were in such demand.

The math probably looks even worse when you consider people are living longer than ever now. It’s not like you can go find another job at 85 when you run out of money. It has to be really scary. :(
