How do you get laid off?

• arandr0x 8y ago
  "Laid off" means your position is no longer available, so your husband leaves, dies, no longer has the resources to support you, or decides his money is better employed buying a sports car and you have to work for your own food. Even if in some of those cases you could find a different husband, it takes time and it may not offer the same financial conditions as the first one. There's no "market rate" for your services really.

  Your kids grow up and move away. No grandkids yet, and your kids live in another state now anyway. There's nothing much left for you to do during the day, and it's lonely.

    So you spend time doing things with friends around town? this is basically retirement age as is, when you'd have the exact same scenario if retired.
