In my attempt to be ready – and as an excuse to create yet another budget spreadsheet – I created a series of contengency budgets in the event I ever faced a layoff.

A couple months later I participated in a buyout plan… so here I am.

As soon as I decided I would accept the buyout, I created yet another speadsheet I had been contemplating – A lost job action plan.

*both available free on my site – shameless plug!

Having these in place contibuted to my peace. I knew I had a plan and as negative as wanted or subsconciously tried to feel at times I simple could not argue with 1) basic math and 2) logically crafted and perfectly viable action plan.

This is so important… more people need to think about this and personalize their own approach to this potential situation.

Thanks!
