Cost Saving Strategies Post-Layoff

Q: I am a 47 year old woman and recently lost my job due to corporate layoffs. While I am already searching for new jobs, I was hoping you could give me some cost saving strategies until I secure my next position.

 


 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few thoughts on dealing with job loss in this economy:

1) If you don't carry credit card debt, get a gas rebate card. It will help with rising gas expenses without costing you a thing.

2) Come up with a weekly plan with your cash flow allowance. Make sure you allow yourself some sort of a treat.

3) Make all your debt as fixed rate as possible. For your mortgage, HELOC and credit cards try and get them to a fixed rate so you are not exposed to rising interest rates in the future.
