I am so sorry to hear this, sdwa.
I have been in the same position as yourself, more times than I would like to remember. A couple of them, I spent weeks training my replacement, knowing all the time the person was some chowder-headed dolt, who would never be able to handle the job.
Suggestion: become independent. Start your own company and do the books for others. Look at your strengths and you and someone else fit those into a business that you can run and operate. That way you won’t get fired.
In my case, I see patterns. I am good with math. I started investing my savings and it grew. I started investing that into real estate. That grew. I started getting an income. and the last time I went out to look for a job, it was because I WANTED to. During the interview, I was thinking “You need me more than I need you, and it bugs the heck out of you, doesn’t it!”.
I paid my investments first, and got them to grow to the point where they are now feeding me. It is never too late, and with all of your energy, you will be able to do what ever you want. Surround yourself with people who will keep you on track and help you set and reach your goals.
