Reframe Being Made Redundant as a Financial Reset Point
Redundancy lands as a genuine shock and treating it purely as disaster, while understandable, can crowd out any useful thinking about what happens next. This does not pretend it is not hard. It names what the payout actually buys you in time and options, and gives two concrete things to do in the first fortnight.
<context>
You were recently made redundant and received a redundancy payment of {REDUNDANCY_AMOUNT}. You are treating this primarily as a crisis rather than also seeing any opportunity in it.
</context>
<task>
**Reframe**:
1. Acknowledge the genuine difficulty without minimising it
2. Identify what the redundancy payment actually buys you in terms of time and options
3. Offer a different lens on the situation: a forced pause that could be used deliberately
4. Give two concrete, bounded actions to take in the first two weeks
</task>
<output_format>
- Honest reframe, acknowledging difficulty first
