If you are still employed, you should have a plan in case you do lose your job at some point in the future. Find out what you can do that will help your prepare for a job loss in the future.
Do what you can to get out of debt
Have at least 6 months worth of savings saved up
This means that if anything happens, you will have up to 6 months in order to find something new. This takes much of the stress off. You will be able to find something that you really want.
Keep your resume up to date
When you do lose your job, you don't want to have to take the time to try to update it when you really need to be getting interviews. If it's up to date, you will be ready as soon as you lose your job.
Scale down on expenses that you don't need
You might have subscriptions to things that you really aren't using at all. Get rid of these and start using that extra cash to save money.
Keep your options open
Always be looking for what might be your next job even if you are currently happy with the one that you have. When you have options, it will be much better the day you lose your job.
Consider getting more education right now for a different or better career
This is easier to while you have a job than when you are stressed out about finding a new one. Get the process started today so that you can get it done.
