Financial planning
Probably the first concern you will have on being told you no longer have a job is how you will manage financially. Once you have worked out where you stand, and how long you can go for without earning, it gives you some certainty. The news may not be fantastic, but there is some reassurance in knowing, if your finances have to fall off a bit, just exactly how hard the concrete is. For this reason, it is imperative to take control of your finances from the off.
