When should we start preparing for an economic downturn? At the onset? Or as early as when we see the first sign of economic decline? If you’re like me and you want to be proactive, then this episode is a must-listen!

I’ve spoken to financial experts to outline strategies to have in your arsenal so that you are prepared for the worst-case scenario. 

It’s a mix of financial cautiousness with investment strategies to make sure you’re protected in case things don’t go as planned, but without missing out on opportunities to actually build wealth.

This episode addresses:

  • Four tips to manage your money during a recession
  • Reevaluating your expense and emergency fund
  • Investment diversification
