Preparing For A Recession Economy?

 Wow! Is everyone screaming about what impact of recession can be, and what do we need to do to prepare for a recession if and when it comes?  I am, I don’t know about you, but below are my suggestions and contribution to that end.  As I think about it a recession economy can be very  intimidating to everyone, because you do not know what to expect or how to prepare for it.

 

The economist calls a recession “a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP (Gross Domestic product), real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.”¹

Update of (AI Overview of a Recession as described on Google: 

An economic recession is a widespread, significant, and prolonged downturn in economic activity, typically marked by declining real GDP, increased unemployment, falling real income, and reduced consumer spending, lasting more than a few monthsWhile a common rule of thumb suggests two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, the official definition in the U.S., as defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), is more complex and considers the depth, diffusion, and duration of declines across several key indicators.  

Key characteristics of a recession:
  • Declining GDP:

    Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a measure of the total value of goods and services produced, shrinks significantly. 

  • Increased Unemployment:

    Job losses and rising unemployment rates are common as businesses cut back. 

  • Reduced Income:

    Real income, which is wages adjusted for inflation, declines, diminishing purchasing power. 

  • Lower Spending and Production:

    Consumers and businesses cut back on spending, leading to decreased industrial production and sales. 

  • Broad-Based Impact:

    The downturn is not limited to one sector but is felt across various parts of the economy. 

  • Duration and Depth:

    Recessions are prolonged and severe, not just brief slowdowns. 

How a recession is determined:
  • NBER Definition (U.S.):

    The NBER’s Business Cycle Dating Committee uses a broader definition focusing on depth, diffusion, and duration across various indicators like real GDP, employment, income, and industrial production. 

  • GDP Rule of Thumb:

    Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth is a widely used, though not the only, indicator of a recession. 

  • Delay in Declaration:
    The NBER’s detailed analysis of multiple economic data points can lead to a delay in officially declaring the start and end dates of a recession. Quote and Unquote.”

There is no short answer on how to handle recession economy, except that all some of us must be prepared for the best way to deal with recession when it comes.  I am not going to re-invent the wheel, why? That is because many experts has written and given seminars with ideas and enough suggestions on what each one of us can do to be well prepared for a recession, but some of us are so busy with our daily life that we forgot to realize that the word Recession” is very important not to be ignored.  It can determine what we do to stay ahead if recession should come.

Here is what I am planning to do:  I am planning on planting tomatoes, raise some chickens to collect few eggs every morning for breakfast or add some lettuce or cucumber to it.  I think that would save me some grocery money so that I can stay alive until recession finally move on with her life, and leave me alone.

  1. Safe some of your pay check every week
  2. Be nice to your boss and co-workers, why? that way you just don’t get fired for being ignorant or being arrogant at work
  3. Plants tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, spinach in your backyard or in create fill it with soil.
