Today I'm going to talk about how you can plan for, prepare for and get through the next financial crisis. Let's talk about that and more right now.

Hey there, traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 540.

How do we survive the next financial crisis.

Now, I ask people to give me some topics to talk about, things that will be helpful for you. And one of the main topics those come up is how do we survive the next almost certainly coming financial crisis? So to start and to prepare for this, what I've done is had a look on the Internet and I want to talk about what they suggest and then my thoughts after that.

First of all, I have to let you know that what I'm about to say is not financial advice. It's purely my own thoughts and opinions, which may or may not work for you.

Increase income, decrease expenses and save more.

So did some research online, typed in how to survive a financial crisis. Upcoming standard answers of #1 increase your income, #2 decrease your expenses and #3 increase your savings. Quick overview on those.

Increasing your income. How are you going to do that? Well, you probably going to if you're in a corporate job, work harder and up the ladder, which means less time at home, etc. like that. More stress. You may be working more hours in your current job. Not a great outcome either. Or you might be going there for a second or third job. Again, not a great outcome. So there's better ways you can do that.

Number two, and decreasing your expenses is something that most people can do. From my own point of view, we like to be completely self-sufficient here. I say we're about maybe 80-90% self-sufficient in what we eat at home, and we choose to do that. We choose to grow our own food as much as possible with our own, you know, the fruit, vegetables, meat, etc. like that.

Everything we try to do is our own choice for health reason and enjoyable reason of actually growing and eating our own food. We know what we're eating and less reliant on the system, on the supermarkets and the crazy inflated prices out there. So that may or may not be something you could do as an example.

The third one to increase your savings. Not very practical for most people around the world, giving the cost of living just as an example, we've had interest rates come off here. Just last week, for me personally, at 2.79, they wanted it to float it at eight point something or fix it at seven point something. Just massive expenses going up there for everybody. A cost of living, a cost of groceries, food, as we've mentioned.

Your fuel, your rate, your taxes. You know, everything goes up and up the whole inflation. So saving more for most people was not really a practical outcome there. So Bense what the Internet says

What are my thoughts?

These are now my thoughts of what you potentially could do because for me surviving or anything financial, a lot of it comes down to your mindset, your thoughts, your emotions.
