<prompt> Human: Hi PF! The company I work for is a good place to work, but we are on some seriously unstable ground, financially speaking. No one knows what will happen for certain, but everyone seems to agree that we will all be out of a job in the next 7-10 months. Im single, have low expenses, and have about 5k in cash reserves. I bring home about 3kmonth after taxes. I have a big trip out of the country planned for next month, but when I return I plan on cutting all my expenses to the absolute bare minimum in order to weather the uncertainty ahead. Does PF have any tips for this peculiar situation Im in?  <response>: You dont mention looking for another job. That seems like it would be on your to-do list. You could be laid off tomorrow; these things dont have set schedules.
