Planning for the future and an unstable job future....

Wife, two young children, house paid off, don't have a need for a majorly expensive lifestyle - say £50-60k per annum more than enough for the family.

Worse case scenario that work is not a future option, would this be enough to live from comfortably - age 46?

Funds held in a mixture of pension, isa, company.

Thoughts appreciated in advance.

Thanks all for the thoughts, guidance and suggestions, some good stuff that I will definitely follow up on.

Apologies if I've caused offence to some in asking for views on here, I am researching elsewhere also but experience has taught me to always seek advice far and wide no matter what the subject - and if you want the best outcome, this subject is not as straightforward as some might think!

Oh and never ever spend more money than you have/want/need to, it's better in your pocket than theirs...

Uncertain times ahead but slowly becoming more confident in future financial security of the family.
