Hola!

�Qu� significa "en lo m�o" en esta frase?

"Yo siempre trabajaba guardando para el d�a de ma�ana, porque en lo m�o lo peor que te puede ocurrir es llegar a vieja sin nada por delante y nada por detr�s".

Muchas gracias!

"as far as I'm concerned"?

Sounds good to me.

sorry It's a she.

Forgive me for intruding, I wish to submit another option.

In my opinion, she's talking about her craft and about how the nature of her job doesn't allow a stable income or an opportunity to have some kind of pension, the most she can hope for is to put away a little cash for rainy days.
The option I submit is: "en lo mio" = "in my line of work / in this line of work"

Good Luck

Yes, "en lo m�o" refers to "in my craft / in my profession / in my line of work". with "en" we suppose the person is a regular. "Lo m�o" may refer to one among many activities -the favorite one, the one that person is gifted to- : "Trabajo de mesero pero lo m�o es la actuaci�n".
