5. I'll be

59 next month, but am thankfully retired from the federal government. And I get your issue - my BIL went through the same when he was laid off as a sales rep after 20 years at the same place and was a few years younger than 59 at the time. It became a series of odds and ends jobs since (must be close to 7 years now) before he had to eventually go on SS Disability with a tiny pension that was part of his severance (he is on dialysis 3x a week). But he will be eligible for that to convert to full SS soon. As much as people talk about "ageism", it is a reality and not considered a "protected class".
