Today, we finish out the 3-part series on preparing for layoffs in the coming recession. Today's show will be useful to you, even if you just got notice of your layoff and didn't do anything to prepare for it beforehand. The major theme of today's show is that you need to take appropriate action with appropriate speed. If you're stuck with little savings and no preparation, that means take massive action, now! If you've planned a bit better in advance, it means be strategic and thoughtful. We discuss:

![]() Yesterday, we talked about ways to avoid losing your job in the coming recession. But obviously there are factors beyond your control which might result in your being laid off, even though you've done everything "right." So, you need a backup plan. Don't wait and wonder what you'll do. Make a simple plan now for what you'll do. Think about some different scenarios and play some mental games with yourself. That way, you'll be able to better respond to events instead of being shell-shocked by them.

Originally released May 13, 2015. And just as important today. ------------------------------------------- For most of us, our jobs are the economic engine that drive every aspect of our financial plan. One of the worst things that can happen is to lose a job. If the engine on your car dies, you're going to be stuck by the side of the road for a while. That's not pleasant for anyone, even if you're stuck in a safe area. But, if you're driving up a mountain (paying off debt and digging yourself out of a hole), having your engine die can be disastrous. And, if you have a destination in mind (financial independence), losing the engine in your car will at least delay you from reaching your destination. So, the key is plan in advance to not lose the engine. Make sure you're doing the things you need to be doing now to avoid being laid off. Obviously, you can't guarantee that you'll never be laid off, but you can do a lot to improve your possibilities! On today's show, we cover:
Enjoy the show! Joshua

One of the most fundamental decisions you can make in life is to marry or not to marry. If you marry, your life, your budget, and your career will look dramatically different than a peer who remains unmarried. Marriage can be one of the biggest blessings to your life, resulting in greater happiness, better health, a higher income, and more wealth. Marriage can also be one of the greatest curses you can experience and it can devastate your emotional state, your physical health, your career, and your wealth. So, you need to choose wisely. In Part 1 of this series, I discussed various ways that you can prepare yourself to be attractive to an excellent wife. In today's show, I do my best to give you an honest assessment of the risks involved so you can choose whether you desire to marry or to remain unmarried. I hope it's thought-provoking. Joshua

Today, we continue our Asset Protection Planning series with a deep look at the Personal Property Exemptions.

When dealing with the mega-wealthy, it's hard to see how the Personal Property Exemptions make any difference in terms of financial planning. But, for a "mere mortal," I think there's a really good argument that the personal property exemptions can be really important. Tune in to the show to hear why! Joshua
