Futures Down - Expect Another Whopper of a Bad Dow Day Friday (so what are boomers, xers to do?)

Totally expected: Futures on Thursday night were down. CNBC reports:

"Futures tied to the blue-chip index lost 77 points, or 0.2%, after the 30-stock average tumbled more than 1,600 points in the prior session. S&P 500 futures lost 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were marginally lower."

So, what are Boomers/Gen Xers supposed to do about funding what could be a very long life? Answer: Keep working. 

Those who have retired and plan to unretire are in for a rough re-entry. You are rusty in 1) How to conduct a job search, especially since AI has changed so much of that 2) How to hold onto a job, since so much more in expected in not only the work load but in old-line deference to authority. It isn't only at those top-down power structures like law firms Kirkland & Ellis and Paul Weiss that seem to require total obedience. That's part of the extreme employment insecurity even in low-paid positions at big boxes.

Not that those of us over-50 who have kept laboring for income have had an easy time of it. To remain marketable I shifted three years ago from a full-time focus on content-creation to a full-time one for tarot-readings and intuitive coaching. 

The transition had been soul-wrenching. But, unlike current content-creators struggling to hang on I'm able to grow my two boutiques. Actually a boom is under way as the Trump administration creates upheaval in the labor market. Also there's the AI-induced stress about the future of knowledge work. 

Some calls for tarot readings come from rest rooms where a human being low on hope has been crying.
