<prompt> Human: Came out of left field. The good news is that I get 3 months severance and that plus my emergency fund and some non-retirement savings amounts to about 15 months of living expenses, so Im not immediately up against the wall. However, what sort of practical things should I be thinking about doing? I have to admit that Im a little bit unsure about what Im going to do next.  <response>: File for unemployment ASAP.
