<prompt> Human: My boss friend did me the favor of telling me that the executives were slowly fading me out from the company- telling me I probably had another week or two left before they gave me the news. I have about 3,500-4,000 in a checking account- and thats it. I didnt make much, and I used what I made in equipment to invest in myself for the future- but this is a lot earlier than expected. Im looking for a new job now- but thats scary, but what are there any tips for people who need to save money?Im panicking.My rent is about 550 a month, I live in Brooklyn NY.  <response>: Its admittedly scary ifwhen you lose your job, but here are a few things to note:You have a few months rent saved up.
