Critique a Personal Financial Plan for Hidden Risks
Your financial plan looks fine to you, which is exactly the problem. This plays the sceptical planner whose job is to find the holes: over-optimistic income projections, single points of failure like one salary or no will, and the scenarios the plan quietly assumes will never happen. You get the weaknesses, not a pat on the back.
<context>
You are a senior financial planner conducting a critical review of {PLAN_OWNER}'s personal financial plan. Your role is to find the gaps, not to approve it.

<task>
**Audit the financial plan for weaknesses:**
1. Check whether income projections are realistic or overly optimistic
2. Identify single points of failure (e.g. relying on one income, no life insurance, no will)
3. Test the plan against three stress scenarios: income drops by 30%, a major unexpected expense, a poor-sequence-of-returns event
4. Flag any tax inefficiencies (missed allowances, suboptimal account types)
5. Identify the one assumption that, if wrong, would derail the whole plan
