[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - did you have to get into your reitrement or did you have enough saved up?

So many people on DCUm think this cant happen to them, but  can and does.  DH was a top exec when he lost his job.  We had a contract on a house, had to pull out of that.  The breaks were literally put on our lives for a year.

I did have to withdraw a little from retirement. Not much. It was the more liquid emergency cushion that got completely eaten up. I'm actually surprised it lasted as long as it did. Then again, I wasn't working, and I had all kinds of leisure time to spend on frugality. (Being cheap is very time-consuming!)

And, right before I took my part-time job, my husband's job let his contract lapse, and were unsure if they would issue a new one. There was one month when both of us were 100% unemployed. We were days from his health insurance going away when his job finally decided to keep him on and re-upped his contract. Rough times.  :? [/quote]
