In light of this scenario and in view of the lack of specific studies on this theme, I became interested in investigating the impact that impoverishment had on the aging process of elderly individuals who had a good financial situation throughout their life. To achieve this, a qualitative research was developed in which six people (two men and four women) between the ages of 59 and 82 were interviewed. These individuals used to be rich and, due to some event, became impoverished in old age. The hypothesis that guided the study was that these subjects denied that possibility during their entire life and did not think of protecting themselves financially; this fact aggravated the impact they suffered due to the negative life event. The collected data allowed me to conclude that the impact of impoverishment on elderly individuals who used to have a good financial situation was felt with less or more intensity depending on the type of life trajectory constructed by each subject. Those who cultivated a social network supported by multiple axes showed greater capacity to adapt to stressful events deriving from changes in their project of life and seem to have greater facility to accept and assimilate life s lessons, reinventing themselves / Pesquisas enfocando a população idosa apontam que dentre os muitos medos associados ao envelhecimento está o medo da dependência econômica. Diante de tal quadro e ante a falta de pesquisas mais específicas sobre esta temática, surgiu o interesse em estudar o impacto do empobrecer na velhice para idosos que gozaram de uma situação financeira confortável durante toda a vida. Para tanto, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa qualitativa, com entrevistas junto a seis pessoas de 59 a 82 anos, dois homens e quatro mulheres, que foram ricas e em decorrência de um determinado evento se viram empobrecidos na velhice. Partimos da hipótese de que tais sujeitos negaram tal possibilidade durante toda a vida e não procuraram proteger-se financeiramente, fato este que acabou por agravar ainda mais o impacto sofrido diante do evento de vida negativo. Os dados levantados permitiram concluir que o impacto ocasionado pelo empobrecimento em idosos que gozavam de uma situação financeira confortável foi sentido em maior ou menor intensidade, dependendo do tipo de trajetória de vida construída por cada sujeito. Aqueles que cultivaram uma rede social apoiada em múltiplos eixos demonstram possuir uma maior capacidade de adaptação aos eventos estressores provenientes das reviravoltas do projeto de vida e aparentam uma facilidade maior em aceitar e assimilar as lições da vida, reinventando-se
