The last few years have been awful in so many ways - we’re all well aware of that. But it’s also exposed us to a new environment to consider what is truly important in our lives. It’s forced a new perspective and we gain a new understanding.

This is one factor that has lead to the Great Resignation: the strange phenomenon that has more workers on the sideline and a great many switching jobs. But in this time of change, make sure to stay grounded and consider the impact on your finances both now and in the future.

In particular:

1. Priorities: Understand what is truly important to you now and in the future
2. Savings: How long can your savings support you if you are out of work or switching jobs?
3. Long-Term: Make sure to consider long-term effects of your current savings (or spending). You don’t want to short-change your future self.
4. Leaving a job?: Make sure to consider benefits both at your current and future employer.
