A RECESSION IS WIDELY
EXPECTED – HERE & GLOBALLY
A
recession is widely defined as a decline of the economy; particularly in the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment and trade. In order to be classified
as a true recession, the decline must last for at least six to twelve months.
Some economists argue that we are already in a national, (if not quickly
approaching a global) recession. The actual term is an economic term, but the
effects are felt by everyone. If you yourself have not begun to feel the
effects of the current downturn, you surely know someone who has.
The
best way to prepare for a recession and the effects it can have on your
situation, is to take a multi-pronged approach. Realize that you could take
hits from this economy in different areas of your life. Take stock of each area
and determine the likelihood that the recession could cause trouble there, then
prepare yourself accordingly. Below are some tips.
Job loss
One
of the most critical and likely ways the recession could distress your
financial circumstances is losing your job. Thousands of Americans have already
lost their jobs, and unemployment is at an all-time high. If you start
preparing now for the possibility of having to replace your source of income,
you will have the upper hand on the competition (who may or may not also be
prepared). Update your resume and polish off a base cover letter to edit and
use for each opportunity you come across. Be more active in your networking
circle, and start talking about your achievements or positive accomplishments
you’ve made at work. Also, be open-minded and consider what alternative career
paths or ways of making money. Be creative. Don’t forget to try to put extra
money into savings while you do still have a steady income. This can help
stretch the limited dollars that unemployment benefits will pay you.

According to financial experts, we're facing a credit crunch, which is a sudden
decrease in the availability of credit from banks and other financial
institutions. A credit crunch can also make borrowing more expensive.
A
credit crunch likely won't prevent you from borrowing if you have good to
excellent credit and a stable income. But some folks may find it harder to get
a credit card, car loan or other consumer loans if needed.
If
you want to learn more about how a credit crunch may impact your ability to
borrow, read this

you should take to prepare
your finances for a credit crunch.

15 Best Canned
Foods To Stockpile*
I want to start off by pointing out that you're better off
canning and/or dehydrating fruits, meats, and vegetables. Foods preserved at
home are cheaper and healthier than store-bought canned foods.
Having said that, if you're new to prepping and don't know much
about food preservation, or if you're just looking to add more variety to your
food stockpile, canned foods are an excellent option because they're very easy
to store and they have a very long shelf life, sometimes lasting for decades.
But which canned foods should you store? Here's our list of
recommendations...

A System for Cutting the Grocery Bill With Specials and BOGOs
I
keep a grocery price book. I also put about $30 a month aside out of my food
budget and use it only for specials and BOGOs. I then put that
"special" or "BOGO" into our menu for the week, which
lowers my total food bill for the current month. Any extra in my total grocery
budget left at the end of the month is added to the "specials"
envelope. Anything left in the "specials" envelope stays. Next month,
I'll add another $30.

old-school grocery price book could save you hundreds.
