Building Financial Security Amid Job Loss
Preparing for an impending job loss requires strategic financial planning, particularly focusing on liquid assets. One caller raised concerns about having most of his wealth tied up in equity and retirement accounts, making access to funds difficult during a layoff. Advice was given to prioritize saving and finding new job opportunities instead of relying on retirement or home equity funds, as accessing these could lead to penalties.
