I am in my 40s, ended up getting honorable discharged from the U.S Army after failing to get out of training and I broke my wrist which pushed it from uncharacterised to honorable due to delays. The label is "Unsuitable for military life" and thus no way EVER I end up in the military.
Even the Peace Corp is out again, due to issues with acid reflux. And also trying to look into retail. Due to issues with my back, I am not getting clearance from a doctor to cover lifting. So, anything retail is right out. This means also I am not in a place where I can even land a manager trainee position working retail, eventhough I have a really good conversation with a regional manager, who said to call back when I get clearance.
I have sent a large number of resumes out, and still have tried that. My last hurrah here is part-time phone survey work, if I land that.
Pretty much I am going to set an October window for deciding to pull the plug and hit rock bottom, after I get the doctor's appointment in. Maybe things break, if not, it is lose everything, like my car (unable to keep it up) and also my bank account (not able to afford to keep making credit card payments. At that point it is go destitute, and try to live on $100 a month, without a bank account, on the government dole. Then take like 5 years to get things built up to where I could possibly get a car again. My take is, better to do it soon, rather than later, because around 50, I may have a shot at getting something. 55+ it is end game, because really pushing too old.
Anyone can step in to help would be good, but I don't expect anyone to do anything, outside of "bummer man". Well, all this happens, I delete my account here, and purge a lot and just vanish. Some people wouldn't mind this, because at least it is one less thing to shatter their worldview.
