Who fears that their career and education will suddenly be worthless?

hoselay37 asked:


Question Details: Technology takes jobs over in an instant. The economy can outsource and job security is unheard of now a days. Most employers want a Batchelors degree as a minimum, Masters is the new Batchelors. Does anyone else consider this before landing themselves into massive responsibilites like debts, children, and retirement plans?

I fear that the economy flux impacts everyone, and very soon there is going to be a unexpected crisis in the world. I am not fear monger, I just see the trends as a whole. I am alone in this?

If my wife and I file our taxes as single filing seperately, can I claim my wife and can she claim me?

buckman201 asked:


We both claim single, no exemptions on our 1099. Would it be better to file jointly? She recently turned in a retirement plan, and that is why we believe it may be better to file seperately.
