fall back on

to depend on something after a loss or failure

The family has no savings to fall back on. I fell back on skills I had learned years ago when I had to earn a living for myself.

back forty

The back forty' is a beloved American idiom. In the US, 1 township is 36 square miles (6 miles by 6 miles). Each square mile (a section of land) is divided into 16 subdivisions of 40 acres (1/4 mile by 1/4 mile)-- so a quarter section is 160 acres, a common unit of ownership in the early days of farming. The quarter-section farmer would own two 'front 40s' and two 'back 40s
