Oh, why can't they just come right out and say "I have a small income."
When a working person hears "fixed income," I think the response is something like, "Gee, it must be nice to have a 'fixed' income you can count on. Mine isn't 'fixed' - it breaks and goes away if I don't go to work!"

I used to see a version of this often in my dental practice. Patient retires early, then needs a filling. Then complains to me that he can't afford it because he's "on a fixed income" now...
