Hungarian term or phrase: biztonságérzetű / egzisztenciaféltő

Nem hiszem, hogy valaha találkoztam volna magyarul ezekkel a szavakkal és nem tudom, bele lehetne-e gyömöszölni egy szóba, valami rövid kifejezésbe angolul. Esetleg "safety-minded", "existence-anxious"?

English translation:sense of security / fear for one's livelihood

Explanation:
Nemigen lehet, főleg nem melléknévbe. Safety egyébként inkább fizikai biztonságra vonatkozik, mint anyagira, még akkor is, ha a social safety net ezt használja.

A "sense of security" nagy találmány, az egzisztenciát meg majd megoldom valahogy. Nagyon köszönöm mindenkinek!

biztonságérzetű - puts safety first, egzisztenciaféltő - ...preoccupied with their circumstances

Explanation:
I think this can't be easily expressed in English with adjectives. It is probably better to reorganise the sentence and use phrases - i.e. so and so is always putting safety first.
