At the very least - you should be able to access your super - so that you DO have a steady income stream for the period that you AREN'T able to work. That would at least relieve that initial pressure of 'HOW DO I PAY THE MORTGAGE?RENT & FEED THE KIDS!'
I am SO in awe of you ladies who are going thru all this and are still working & supporting your family and doing all the chores & cooking as well.
I was SO lucky to be able to 'retire' at 50 (when my husband retired at 65) - living in a smallish rural town, there weren't that many jobs around 18 years ago - so we bought lawn mowing run for a few years.

Before retiring, I was super fit & healthy - rock climbing, fishing, swimming & doing whatever I liked! After retiring - I had 2 shoulder surgeries (which each took 2-4 years for full range of movement recovery), 2 knee surgeries, a buggered hip that affected me for 8 months, the other half had most of his stomach removed from stomach cancer so needed 24/7 care and to top it off - I got BC. I would have HATED to be working as well!
As I said - I am in AWE of EVERYONE who continues to work thru all this shit. I am 65 now & still won't be able to access my super til I am 67 .... but with the aid of hubby's pension & income streams we are comfortable. We don't do 'luxuries' ..... but are happy with our lot.
