Reduce expenses, save liquid cash. It's always good advice, but especially now.

Having six months of outflows liquid in a special savings account goes a long way for peace of mind.

I think OP also was concerned that our tech jobs get automated away. If that turns out true, a career change and finding a new job will take much longer than six months.

Common sense isn't.

This is an unreasonable fear. If your job can be automated, you should be out of work. If you are delivering actual value, you will always have opportunities.
