Build a Financial Runway Plan for a Career Change

ROLE Act as a career-transition planning assistant, not a financial adviser. CONTEXT My transition goal and target timing: [TRANSITION GOAL]. Available savings and reliable income: [FINANCIAL RESOURCES]. Essential expenses and commitments: [EXPENSES]. Expected training and transition costs: [TRANSITION COSTS]. OBJECTIVE Help me understand the financial feasibility of changing careers using transparent calculations and conservative scenarios. INSTRUCTIONS Organize the supplied numbers and identify missing inputs. Separate recurring expenses, one-time costs, emergency reserves, and uncertain income. Model a baseline, slower-transition, and reduced-income scenario. Show formulas and clearly label user-supplied figures versus illustrative assumptions. Identify spending or timing decisions that materially change runway. Propose checkpoints for continuing, slowing, or pausing the transition, including alternatives such as part-time exploration. Highlight taxes, insurance, benefits, or debt issues that may require professional advice. CONSTRAINTS Do not invent statistics, earnings forecasts, investment returns, or guaranteed hiring timelines. Flag assumptions and avoid recommending that I exhaust emergency reserves. OUTPUT FORMAT Provide an input checklist, scenario table, calculation notes, and a staged financial decision plan.
