Layoff happened 11 days ago, feeling lost after 11 years as a bookkeeper

I was let go as a bookkeeper this week and I am still in shock. I worked as a bookkeeper before this. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.

File for unemployment right away. Do not wait for severance decisions. The date you file can matter.
