That's my theory, too.

If DW loses her job, it would have a minimal impact on our spending since she only works PT and it wouldn't be tough for her to find something else if needed.

If I lose my job, there are numerous companies that do nothing but place physicians in short term positions. I'm pretty confident that I could be working within a couple of weeks though I might need to temporarily relocate and be away from my family in the process. I'm licensed in 2 states so I'd be willing to go anywhere in those states if necessary. I could also continue to do all the online surveys I do (even more since I might have more free time). I made over $1,000 last month just from surveys.

If I got sick or injured, I have a very good disability income policy that would kick in.

The last time I was out of work, I started selling on ebay full time and was bringing in up to $3,000/month from that (and that was almost 10 years ago).
