The following are the ideal preventative measures; the more you can take, the better:<br />
• y Put away savings to build a cash reserve (emergency fund) that can help you cover<br />
unexpected events. Your cash reserve amount should ideally be able to cover three to<br />
six months of living expenses.<br />
• y Keep cash reserve funds in an account that you can easily access if the money is needed.<br />
• y Consider putting additional savings in invesTMent accounts that generate a higher<br />
return than a regular savings or current accounts.<br />
• y Purchase long-term disability insurance.<br />
• y Create a plan to deal with unexpected emergencies, including what you could do, where<br />
you could you go, who might help you.<br />
• y Identify potential credit and loan sources or other ways you might be able to quickly<br />
increase your income during a financial emergency.<br />
When you are confident that you have a clear view of your financial situation and that your<br />
finances are under control, you will have a solid (and far more stress-free) foundation to move<br />
forward with your job hunt.<br />
