Play it more conservatively than you usually do today, especially in terms of how much money you spend. You need to make sure that what you have stays in your possession, so avoid lending possessions or money to friends or relatives. As much as you might like to help them, you need to let them fend for themselves for now. They'll be understanding about it, especially after you let them know that you're trying to conserve your resources. Set a savings goal and do your best to exceed it.
