5 Tips to Weather an Economic Storm
-
Pay off your debts, especially high-interest credit cards, to improve your finances and be prepared for a recession. Consolidate debt to lower interest rates and monthly payments.
-
Stay invested for the future by sticking to your savings plan and investing spare change, even small amounts, to build a cushion.
-
Don't overpay for insurance - shop around to find better rates and make sure you're not blowing your budget.
-
"Bear down" and work hard to earn as much as possible, while also being as frugal as possible with spending.
-
There are parallels between high inflation today and in the 1970s - be prudent, pull back unnecessary spending, and watch pennies during trying economic times.
