Longevimonetaphobia (Lon’-je-vi-mon’-e-ta-pho’-bia)
From the three words longevity, monetary and Phobia. The deathly fear of living longer than one’s supply of money. A condition often developed by elders soon after retiring and exacerbated by inflation, taxes, and failed pension funds. Longevimonetaphobia much more frequently shows up disguised as alimony in divorce settlements.
