Scanner, I totally agree with you. The best laid plans...
I do like the term "safety net" much better than "ground floor" though. The first implies SS is a back-up if my plans don't work out whereas the second sounds like I'm depending on SS as my basis and building from there. It is all semantics in the end. One just makes me feel like I'm more in control.
