If you're 35 or older, the financial crisis may seem to have no upside. Your retirement funds, home equity, job prospects and credit lines have withered so much that it's hard to focus on anything but what you've lost.

Sounds like more BS "every cloud has a silver lining" cheerleading.

A shrinking economy, millions of layoffs, skyrocketing inflation, huge unemployment, bloated tax system and major corportations falling like trees in a storm; are NOT good news for people in thier prime wage earging years.

Maybe we should stop listening to the same idiot talking heads that helped steer us into this mess. Like MSN's "moneycentral".
