I was laid off, didn't quit, but I'm hoping to start my own business. An amazon affiliate site. Very excited, been working on it for a few months now. If you're interested in doing this type of thing, there is money to be made, but it takes hardwork. Checkout /r/juststart

I haven't, but I have some warning for anyone who is a technology worker (developer, IT, designer), ageism is real in this field. Look around you, notice how everyone is in their 20s-30s, where did all the older tech workers end up? Well unless they crossed over to upper management.... they've all be laid off. Don't expect your situation to be any different when you get older. At some point you will be forced out before you're ready to retire from work because the young guys are more malleable and energetic than you are.

I actually got fired, but I managed to start working as a freelancer and I love it. I'm making good money and I have enough extra time to work on building a real business. I hope to never have to work a real job where I'm not the owner of the company ever again.
