This article is part of "My Financial Life," a series helping people live and spend better.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Prisca Benson, a 34-year-old writer for the blog Our Green Life.
Last year my husband's work slowed down; he basically worked the equivalent of about five or six months out of the year.
It's a testament to intentional spending in the long term.
Because this could be literally devastating — if you were living paycheck to paycheck, a loss of 25%, 30%, 40% of your income would decimate you.
