It's just never as easy as some people make it seem.

My dad's in a similar boat. Got laid off five months ago from the company he worked for for 28 years. He's in his late 50s and also not ready/able to retire. Very, very slim pickins out there.
I have a friend who was laid off from my old company a few months before my dad lost his job. He's still out of work too. He's in his late 40s, but what he's finding is that companies want to hire some recent college grad for a third of what he used to make.
