Here's how you can navigate your finances during a layoff and career transition.

Financial assessment is crucial when it comes during a lay off and career transition. You must first assess yung initial savings followed by various financial expenses. This way you can take advance financial management when it comes to your daily needs or in the long run.

Layoff is a very crucial time in the life of any individual for some obvious reasons: monthly/weekly pay check ceases, expenses continue to run, and you might not be able to access credit. To mitigate the adverse effect of career transition, you have to plan for it when the goings on the job are good. It is a good thing to have a certain portion of your salary set aside from every pay check and invested. Investing will ensure that you always have something in addition to what you saved. During layoff, cutting down on all non-essential spending is a must. You have to bring your budget to a manageable size.

You have to be realistic. Denial may overtake acceptance and decision-making skills may be compromised. Begin with an outline. If you don't have a budget, this is the perfect time to create one simply by writing down all expenses. Media subscriptions, meal plans, future savings goals, property taxes, and potential healthcare costs should be included as an expense. Then make a note of all assets. This includes readily available savings, investments (and the time to liquidate), and your severance package. Doing the math helps form a realistic expectation about your finances. This will help you decide between a full-time sabbatical or a part-time job.

When facing a layoff and career change, take charge of your finances. First, assess your financial runway by creating a budget and utilizing your emergency fund if needed. Pursue unemployment benefits and explore additional income streams. Negotiate your severance package and prioritize essential expenses. Remember, this is a temporary setback. Focus on revamping your resume, upskilling, and actively searching for new opportunities.

Struggling to establish a 6 month emergency fund? Start with saving enough money to pay one month of expenses to remove the lifestyle habit of living paycheck to paycheck.

Having an emergency fund is the best way for career transition. You may assess an emergency fund within a long time period like for example 6 mos in case career transition period may take longer time to mitigate future expenses.

During career transition period, you may take up additional income streams like part time jobs or freelancing which can also help to improve your personal development not only on one field but also to other fields in the business or industry.

It is very important to plan ahead no matter the kind of job you do or pay you earn. In my case, I usually set a monthly savings target with which I invest in a venture that will yield returns to me over time whether still on the job or not. I also set a quarterly/annual professional development target which will position me for a better job should I leave the one I am currently doing such that I will not be stuck in the rot or unable to scale when in-between jobs. Moreso, I try to expand my network within and beyond my sector of engagement including volunteer spaces where I can meet other professionals who can become my referrals in the future when the need arises so that getting another employment will not be much of a hassle.

In addition to the above, explore and try new things. A layoff and a career transition can be scary and challenging, but it also can be pivotal..in a positive way. You're presented with a unique opportunity to explore other parts of you previously tethered to a job. Yes, to all the above. But be open to unique opportunities to recreate your life.
