Critique a Financial Plan Before Major Life Change
You're about to take a career break, have a child, or retire early, and your plan looks fine until something goes sideways. This prompt runs it through best case, expected, and the scenarios you'd rather not think about, then flags where it breaks. Good for anyone whose money plan has never been tested against bad luck.
<context>

<task>
**Stress-test the plan across four scenarios:**
1. Best case: what does the plan look like if everything goes to plan
2. Delayed recovery: what if the change takes 12 to 18 months longer than expected
3. Unexpected cost: what if a significant unplanned expense occurs during the transition
4. Income shortfall: what if income after the change is 20 to 30% lower than projected
**For each scenario:**
Rate the plan's resilience (low, medium, high) and identify the most vulnerable assumption.
