When you look at the most recent GDP figures and subtract inflation, we actually have negative growth in today's economy. Using this method, it's suggests that we may have been in recession for the past few years and not even have realized it. All the artificial government stimulus has made things look better than they really are for a long time until now.

During recessions, assets often undervalue. By investing wisely in stocks, real estate, or businesses during this downturn, you position yourself for significant returns during the economic recovery.

An obvious way to invest for a recession is to buy shares in businesses that are likely to experience steady demand even in a downturn. Typically, those are consumers staple, utilities and healthcare companies. But of course, such decisions can’t be made by an average joe, a financial advisor is highly recommended in making this decisions..

Recessions are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle; all you can do is prepare for them and plan accordingly. I graduated into a slump (2009). My first job after graduating from college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today, I work as a VP for a global corporation, own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, run my own company, and have increased my net worth by $500k in the last four years.

Nixon: "I have instructed Secretary Connally to temporarily halt the conversion of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets, except under conditions deemed necessary for monetary stability and the best interests of the United States." This decision marked the end of the United States 1971. Following this, the 1973-1974 period saw what was considered the worst stock market crash since the Great Depression. Subsequently, Black Monday in 1987 highlighted ongoing economic fragility that put the economy on life support ever since. The charades are about to end.

I'm still in on Renewable Energy, EV, Tech, Health, coins too, gotta be greedy when others are fearful. At this point I'm grateful for my FA.

I even bought two rentals and beach condo heavily discounted with cash after housing crash in 2008-2009. Wasn’t giving up on solid stocks paying and increasing reinvesting dividends. Even Warren Buffett said when things go bad people still buy toilet paper. Most still had to pay for gas and other petroleum products,utilities,cell phone,internet,food,medical,credit card debt,stupid stuff,etc.. Even Starbucks was packed back then regardless.

@@JB-tz8fu Yeah, but the rents for a storefront are reaching 20 grand. Inflation is creeping up. Not even a franchise is a good investment with a rent that high. Government workers aren't going to have anywhere to spend their paychecks at some point. That, or you're going to be paying $14 for a roll and $15 for a hero and $4 for a 20 oz bottle.

I am on SSDI (due to cancer) and just had to apply for EBT card to afford groceries. My monthly check is 1450.00. House note 1050.00 (with ins & tax increase escrow), power 225.00, cell 32.00 and water 120.00. When I applied 2 months ago, the person at Medicaid for my EBT app says "you pay more than you have incoming!". HELLO! That's why I need food assistance! Still, the GOVT doesn't get it. People like me cannot make it with these high prices. It was finally approved, and I get a little help through EBT but I do use local food pantry locations. If you could see the amount of people at the food pantries, it would blow your mind! A lot of people are really struggling.

The Fed lowered the federal funds rate to near-zero levels in December 2008, and again in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The Fed began raising interest rates in March 2022 in response to rising inflation.

That is why the middle class is dead. If the goverment would stop "Violating the free market, to save the free market" and let things fail and come back organically we would not be this far down the road to surfdom. The market needs to be corrected finally so the average person will still be able to work for a living. This is class warfare on lower, working and "middle class". The middle class is now the upper class. Working class used to be middle class. You can't survive without multiple passive income streams. What a travesty. The elites and marketeers need to take a hit instead of making the working family pay 30 percent more for everything to keep the market propped up. and 30 percent is being generous. To you comment, it all depends on how you define "everybody" Everybody knows..... its just is not hitting them like "everybody else" A recession is when your neighbor looses their job, a depression is when you loose your job, a correction is when a rising tide lifts all boats, not just the ones that are thrown a life preserver.

I agree with you. During the so-called pandemic people were getting extra food stamp benefits (in some states individuals were getting an extra $225 per month) so the prices of food items wasn't really apparent until those benefits ended in the fall of 2023 in most states. Also, during the so-called pandemic people were getting stimulus checksn so home and car insurance increases didn't seem like such a shock. But now in 2024 with no extra benefits it definitely feels like a recession.

Ive watched my home's "estimated value" go up over the past 5 years, from 108k to 160k. The entire time ive been telling my wife it is fake, its a bubble. And this entire time my mortgage company has been trying to get me to cash out the equity. I refied in 2020 to 2.35%, and if i cashed out the equity my rate goes to 7%, then the market tanks and im stuck with 3×s the interest on owing way more on a home than its worth, and stuck in a state that i really dont want to spend the rest of my life in. Instead i am going to triple my mortgage payment, have it paid off in less than 4 years, then sell the house and get out of IL.

I remember growing up on the 70s and 80s, a neighbor who had everything. His kids had the latest toys, he built deck after deck off the back of his home. Home theater….unheard of back then. One day, their home was foreclosed on and they had to move in with grandma. Nobody around them saw it coming. You just don’t know what is going on behind closed doors. Probably the people who want to look rich, aren’t. Edit: it’s just not smart to spend crazy unnecessarily right now. If you see people doing that right now, chances are that they don’t really have that money.

I don’t really think we have been in a thriving economy since the last severe downturn since 08! I think if we could improve our food supply to reduce chronic illness and cancer in our country we would have a healthy workforce. People also have too much stress which adds to the problem. Without a healthy workforce you don’t have a healthy economy. Pharmaceutical companies can no longer be sued which is concerning given the adverse side effects of their drugs. I think with higher accountability we would have much more solid research and better quality drugs with fewer side effects. We need accountability in healthcare and a high quality food supply.
