Without tempting fate, I think we'd manage for a while financially and probably manage emotionally too. Like you, MT, I was hit badly in the last recession and had always struggled financially until I married this time round, so I think I'd be ok coping on a shoestring. How Mr A would cope without a job is another matter...but he has a lot of resources so I hope he'd find something eventually. I could return to work but it might not easy as I've also been out of the workplace for about a year and at 51 there are a lot of younger women who could do what I do. Although what I could earn would be a fraction of OH's earning power it would be a start.

So, it wouldn't be the end of the world but it would be a challenge...
