I saw an article on CNN.com about bulletproofing your job.  Newsflash-- there is no bulletproofing your job.  The days of job security are over . . . nobody is immune (Layoffs and Unemployment are Up: 7 Things You Should Do ASAP).  No job is forever-- even government employees are getting pink slips.

That said, what can you do?  (Notice I said, "YOU")

• Start an emergency fund (See my post, Squirrel Accounts . . . Do Yourself a Favor and Set One Up)
• Carefully build your pantry and freezer stock (See my post, Our Frozen Assets)
• Cut non-essential expenses
• Start a sideline business(es) that could grow to a full time gig
• Develop additional professional or trade skills (Think About Learning Another Skill or Trade  and Never, Ever Stop Learning . . . )
• Payoff or plan to payoff your cars and credit cards
• Become more self-sufficient (See my post, What Happened to Self-Sufficiency?)

Bottomline: "Bulletproofing" is really about controlling your own destiny and keeping flexibility . . . (6 Defensive Moves You Can Make While the Sun Shines Upon You and Is Your Financial House in Order?)
