I know many, many in my profession who left long careers mid 50s to early 60s.

 

It's not difficult if one plans and saves and invests.

With all due respect, how are you sure that Dan & Carolyn have 401K's?

Ohhh.   Since you have  "Exec" in your nickname, and you seem to have definitely asserted Dan & Carolyn have 401K's:  

     ref:   'They can draw on their 401ks if necessary and desired.'

 

I thought you had some"Inside QVC Information," as  "Exec Mr Wilkes"

 

I guess then you're assuming Dan & Carolyn have a 401K because:

    ref:  "I know many, many in my profession who left long careers mid 50s to early 60s"

 

        *Scratching my head*

 

So, I'm confused & curious.

If u dont mind me ask'n these 2 questions:      

1)  Are u in the same profession as Dan Hughes & Carolyn Gracie were?

2)  Are you presently an employee of QVC,   or   QxH? 

 

TIA. (Thanks In Advance)

I just looked on Carolyn's FB page, She will be fine, but being forced to say goodbye to so many of her fans and friends must be hard. She now knows how loved she is by so many. That must be a great source of comfort. Dan seems to feel a bit more wronged, and rightfully so. Being terminated after 33 years is just wrong. He actually helped grow the brand. He has already landed on his feet. So has Carolyn. I hope they both experience more success and happiness now than they ever dreamed possible,

Did Dan Hughes just recently get married?

Or am I referencicng someone else?

 

 

 

It was another former host named Dan Wheeler who got married. His first wife died several years ago.  



I was not aware Dan Wheeler re-married. I know he loved his wife Beth who passed from cancer. I am surprised Dan moved on so quick and entered into another marriage. I don't know if his children would approve. I think he had 2 girls.

Dan is old enough to not require permission or approval from anyone to remarry.

 

And this is 2023.

I was simply stating I was surprised and worry his daughters may not approve. Men do not handle living alone well,

Carolyn and Dan were let go. They were the most genuine of the Q hosts. Two reasons for me to stop watching and purchasing from the network.  Very disappointing.

 

ETA According to Carolyn's FB 400 employees were let go. IMO buying HSN wasn't a good business decision.
