[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 524523, member: 3775"] Does surprise medical "retirement" count? I've been off work for 4 years due to health. Had a procedure done that was supposed to sort things out but nearly killed me instead. The last almost 2 years have been recovery and dealing with "new and exciting" additions to my health problems due to the botched job. I currently spend about half of each month barely able to get around the house and the other half waiting for the next episode. That said, I'd encourage everyone to put a plan in place for when/if their health or that of a spouse/partner/child goes south. I've heard of too many couples retiring to their dream house/RV/travel lifestyles only to have it fall apart when one or both fall ill. Life can change in an instant. A back-up fund is always a good idea. Wish we had had one, but I never thought I'd have to deal with chronic illness/disability at 46. [/QUOTE]
