I'm on the cusp of early retirement - how do I manage the fear of a 1% financial catastrophe?
Briefly

A concerned Redditor, a father of three at 51, worries about his family's financial future should something happen to him. He questions the adequacy of his life insurance policy and expresses doubt about re-entering the job market post-retirement. Despite having a solid financial foundation, including a paid-off home and substantial savings, he feels pressed by his $200,000 annual expenses. He contemplates the benefits of working longer to increase his net worth and ensure his children's stability in case unforeseen events arise.
As a parent and provider, one of the biggest concerns you can deal with is being gone. What happens to your family after that? How will your family survive without your income?
This father is worried about what would happen if something unexpected were to occur, such as a significant medical issue, and how this might impact the family's finances.
He knows that if he worked a few more years, he could potentially double his net worth, setting his kids up very well.
An unfortunate truth is that life insurance policies are riddled with exceptions to avoid payout.
