I think 'Not being able to provide for family' has to be number 1 nightmare scenario. It's like losing shelter during a storm.
I am yet to meet people who is afraid of unemployment because they don't know what else they would do. But I can understand, imagine being trained to one thing and one thing only and sometime in future that thing is obsolete. Starting for scratch is not for everyone. I had the similar conversation with one IT guy who was shaken up when he learned that AI can code better than him. And he gave all sort of reasons like learning new tech is not an old man's game. I disagree with him, anyone can learn the only condition being that he should be able to focus on learning, which I think is kind of hard when you are stress because of unemployment.
