A Check Of This Example, Not A Judgment Of You.
You choose the minimum cash cushion. Falling below it is different from falling below zero. Below zero means this plan needs money it has not provided. Neither result is a judgment of you.
Know What This Graph Leaves Out.
The pay reduction starts in month 2. Income from assets and essential bills stay fixed. Reduced pay is rounded half-up to cents. The example assigns no probabilities and assumes no new borrowing, asset sales, or tax benefits. A positive month-end balance can still hide a bill due before income arrives.
