We all love ER success stories, but permit me to visit the dark side. I'm interested in hearing from those early retirees who planned and executed their retirement, then had to make changes during retirement or return to work due to unforseen circumstances which incurred significant expenses.
Here are extreme examples:
1) You or your spouse became ill or incurred an injury with significant medical expenses for which you were not able to be recompensed by insurance.
2) You are a pensioner but your former employer went bankrupt and the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corp which took over your pension cut it significantly.
3) You lost a large portion of your retirement nest egg because it was in the form of a risky investment which lost significant value.
