<prompt> Human: I was employed at an equipment rental company for a year and planned to stay there for another 6 months to a year to benefit from their college program and then use those skills acquired to land a better job. There are a lot of hobbies I wanted to dump my savings into because I felt that my position within the company was secure and that I had a good reputation and work ethic. Thankfully, I decided against those impulses and instead began saving every dollar I could and dumped a percentage of my leftover monthly income into my bank account.Two weeks ago I get a call from my new boss hed been at the company 4 months and had already written up half the employees for stupid shit Friday after work saying my work is unsatisfactory bullshit, but thats a story for another day and to turn in my uniform Monday. No warning, no nothing.Thankfully I have several months rent saved up along with food, gas, utilities, rent, insurance, etc. I filed for unemployment but Im not sure how that works or if Ill get anything. So needless to say I am beyond thrilled I did not make those poor financial decisions and will not have to rely on my family or friends for money if I can find new work in the next few months even if its just something to get me by until I can get back into a career or better field.Please please please, put a side a bit of your extra spending money at the end of each month into a rainy day fund. I cannot recommend it enough. You never know when shit will hit the fan and it totally can even though you think all is well. Set up a plan right now to put aside some of your money. Add up all your expenses, subtract that from your monthly income, and then put half of that into savings until you have a several month safety net.Be careful, be frugal, be prosperous my friends.  <response>: You might have incorrectly formatted line breaks.
