Highly paid, older office workers are first in line when layoffs happen. Those people then face age discrimination trying to get new positions. Can really derail your earnings.

Yes, there is dramatically increase probability of obsolescence for anyone after 50, but from my experience, the office workers tend to have a much better network to fall back on.

Either way, one should definitely be investing in passive income sources for their 50s and up.
