Right now, it feels good that I have enough funds to get through the next four to six months if I have to. I should probably mention part of the reason that I'm here is because of job loss. My position was terminated three and a half weeks ago now. Sorry about that. Thank you. So I've already stripped down to the bare essentials in terms of my budget.

And I feel really good about my ability to be disciplined with substantially cutting those back. I live a pretty simple life. So even though I had a well-paying job, I don't feel stressed about managing things for several months if I have to.

Thank you. It's been eye opening because that's something I've stressed about a lot in the past is do I have enough emergency savings? Interestingly, part of the reason why I do is because I was in the process of moving to Chile when all of this happened. So I had been building up extra savings for that already. So I have easy access to a good amount of money that I feel good about.

On the stressor side, I'd say the two big stressors right now are health insurance coverage and secondly, not really knowing how long this is going to last. So on the health insurance side, I did get the COBRA information from my company and it's very expensive. But I have seen all my doctors recently because of that planned move. So I don't anticipate that I'm going to need something.

But of course, there could always be some sort of surprise, right?

Emotionally, it's been a roller coaster. I was completely blindsided by this decision. I had no idea that it was coming and really honestly didn't get much of an explanation other than restructuring and cutting back. They've chosen to eliminate my role in that process.
