Start getting side hustles NOW for extra income.
I think this recession is going to hit badly b/c there is a perfect storm on the horizon.
We have climate environmental issues, heightened racial tensions, water wars, increased debt, high unemployment, few job prospects, conservatives have already made cuts to social welfare and gotten dumb people to co-sign it, a large population of untrained, jobless, disgruntled youth, and a pending superbug pandemic on the rise coupled with a healthcare system that our president fukked over millions with pre-existing conditions.
People are talking about having money saved but that does absolutely nothing when local and national government infrastructures that provide ur basic survival needs get fukked over. When truckers can’t afford gas so they can’t get food to restock shelves at ur grocery store. When public offices responsible for water purification have officials on furlough. When inflation hits and the money u saved is burned thru.
Saving isn’t enough. Lifestyle changes is what is needed.
1.) Work a second job
2) Learn to grow ur own food. In ur backyard, on ur porch, in potted plants if ur in an apartment.
3.) Learn to live sustainably and conserve energy and resources.
4.) GET ARMED. Crime will be spiking astronomically.
5.) Eliminate debt
6.) Downsize cars and houses. Bigger is not better.
7.) Learn trades
8.) Have visas and passports ready just in case.
It may get so bad that nothing helps but this can’t hurt.
