56% of Workers Over 50 Will Lose Their Jobs. Here's Your Backup Plan

If you're over 50 and still working, there's a statistic you need to know: 56% of workers your age will lose their jobs involuntarily before they planned to retire.

Not because of performance. Not because they wanted to leave. But because of layoffs, health issues, caregiving responsibilities, or age discrimination that's rarely called what it is.

And here's what makes this truly devastating: Most people in this situation never fully recover their previous income level. They end up taking lower-paying jobs, retiring earlier than planned with less saved, or scrambling to figure out what's next.

This isn't meant to scare you. It's meant to wake you up.

Because if there's even a chance you could be in that 56%, you need a backup plan that isn't "hope this doesn't happen to me."

In this video, I break down:

Why this is happening (and why it's getting worse)
The financial reality most people face after involuntary job loss
Why traditional retirement planning doesn't prepare you for this
What you can build NOW while you still have income and time
How a YouTube channel can be your insurance policy against this scenario

The best time to build a safety net is before you need one. And the second best time is right now.

If this resonates with you:
Don't wait until you're in that 56%. Start building something that's entirely yours—something no employer can take away, something that grows in value over time, something that generates income whether you're employed or not.
