And I don't like working for a long time or uncertainty :) Very true – if you want to live off investments you need to either earn way more than you spend, work for a long time to gradually build up investments that replace your income, or win the lottery literally or figuratively.

I totally relate to the battery concept, particularly as to wanting to have a "reserve" in case the size battery I thought I would need to keep my "puter" running turned out to be inadequate. It also helps with visualizing that batteries - which tend to have shelf lives - can also run down (lose value, thereby lose spending power from the juice we take from it), so that we need to ensure that it is either very safe, or as you put it, backed up with reserves. The list of three also helps simplify how to deal with where I am today in expenditures and income versus where I want to be when I am running on battery (and hopefully not (running on) 'empty').
