I wonder how those odds change if you narrow down to your occupation/socioeconomic status/location.

I have always wondered what the income volatilities as you age are for the purposes of calculating how much I should be saving. My current strategy is to assume I will be unable to earn income and/or need to spend a lot on healthcare with increasing material odds starting at age 50 (since I might not have access to subsidized health insurance that comes with a job).
