The Great Recession hit older Americans harder than any other group. Savings and Investments built up over a lifetime were suddenly wiped out or needed to be used to make ends meet. Following massive layoffs, older Americans discovered they were no longer valued by employers and found it difficult, if not impossible, to find a decent job. Many took minimum wage jobs at a time in their lives when such exertion was hazardess to their health. They simply had no choice. I know. I was one of them. As I searched for employment using the Internet I saw a number of websites that needed simple tasks done. Not big money at first but money easily made from my home computer. I then discovered I could make a steady income by giving input on new product launches, placing ads on my website, testing new products and a number of other easy tasks that required little time or effort but generated a steadily increasing income. Within six months I no longer needed a job. I was making all the money I needed. Pick up your copy of Money For Retirement-The Middle-Aged Man's survival guide today and let me show you how it's done.

Should I Be Afraid? Learn what doctors, nurses, and the care community aren't telling you that can kill you, something that is already killing millions of others. Learn how your risk of premature death is increased by 300%, and how your silence sends a message of approval. The facts are exposed about a country's national embarrassment: the unfair and vile treatment of baby boomers and senior citizens. It is a problem of international scope and concern. Facts that have been swept under the rug for decades are exposed in the new book release, Should I be Afraid? Who would have thought people 60 and older checking into a hospital for a minor medical problem could be drugged with dangerous chemical restraints without consent or knowledge? You will learn first hand who is committing these crimes against you, and how these drugs can damage and disable you. Could you imagine that six million people die annually at the hands of those in whom they have placed trust, and the criminals get away with it? Seniors say nobody is warning them about how to cope with or defend themselves against what goes on behind closed doors in their own homes at the hands of family members. What if you could know the types of mistreatment that face one in five seniors today, and be armed with facts that could save your life and the lives of others? This book holds the key to prevention, the key to extending your life, and, the key to having the power to put those who violate your rights in prison. You will be able to determine the answer the question, Should I Be Afraid?
