Fire ?

We made sure that the ER budget covered all our expenses of the final working years as a minimum.
We were confident to be able to live on less.
But we did not want to risk regrets.

I have two projected budgets - a "bare bones" budget and a normal one. I intend to keep w*rking at least until the normal budget is covered, but it's comforting knowing the bare bones budget is covered, in case that decision is taken out of my hands.

We have a bare bones budget and the one we now enjoy. If things went south we know we can make it.
