IOW, what would happen if you had no more earned income?
True, true retire@40. My comments were more philosophical and in consideration of the fact that most folks that post here have enjoyed, or are in the midst of enjoying, lives with significant financial advantages.
I just have trouble thinking of having no more earned income in terms of a "worst case scenario." I'd probably call it a financial setback or something like that. In any case, no big deal, and an interesting discussion regardless of the terminology.
