Losing your job can shake your plan, but it doesn’t have to derail your sense of security. This template helps you focus on what matters most—protecting your essentials and preparing for temporary costs. You’ll find practical categories for your necessities, new short-term costs (like COBRA or job search costs), and space to take care of yourself while you get back on your feet. As things stabilize, you can start rebuilding savings and momentum for whatever comes next.

Notes

All amounts in this template are rough estimates. Every situation is unique, so use these figures as a starting point and adjust each amount to fit your location, needs, and priorities.
