Job Loss / Income Shock

Create a calm 90-day plan before making irreversible long-term moves.

First 90 days

Stabilize obligations and preserve flexibility.

  • Triage essential obligations first
  • Set cash runway milestones by month
  • Delay irreversible commitments until baseline stabilizes

Recovery path

Sequence recovery decisions with explicit checkpoints.

  • Re-evaluate income assumptions every 30 days
  • Protect against panic-driven all-or-nothing choices
  • Document tradeoffs before each allocation change
