[speaker001:] I don 't know what I 'm going to do! It 's going to be impossible to make ends meet if I lose my job!
[speaker002:] Don 't worry. I don't think you 're going to lose your job over one mistake.
[speaker001:] It was a rather big mistake. When you work as an investment adviser, one small mistake can cost the company millions.
[speaker002:] But it wasn 't just you who was involved, right? You were only doing what your supervisor told you to do.
[speaker001:] That 's true, but my supervisor is very dishonest. There 's no reason he needs to tell our boss the truth. I 'm sure he will tell our boss that it was all my fault, and there 's nothing I can do about that. My boss won 't believe me if I tell him the truth.
[speaker002:] Let 's think realistically about what might happen. How much money do you have in your savings?
[speaker001:] I have enough to live off of for about 3 months. But I really don't want to spend my life savings on just living! I 'd rather invest my money somehow.
[speaker002:] Well, you can't have everything. Let's just figure out what you will do if you lose your job. When is your contract up on your apartment?
[speaker001:] Next month. So I can either move out then or renew my contract for another year.
[speaker002:] Well, that 's good. If you lose your job, you can just move in with me until you find another job. That will save you plenty of money.
[speaker001:] That 's very generous of you. I guess that would work.
[speaker002:] If you lose your job, you just have to go for a few months without buying all the junk you usually buy. If you live frugally, you 'll save plenty of money.
[speaker001:] I guess working with so much money has made me rather greedy. Maybe losing my job would be a good thing!
