What may feel like a recession in Canada isn’t exactly a recession according to traditional definitions, and on today’s episode #392 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, the co-hosts talk about the new buzzword “me-cession” that is representative of how Canadians are feeling about the current economic climate.  

The “me-cession” word is attributed to Charles St-Arnaud, chief economist at Alberta Central. Others are calling it the “per capita” recession where individuals and families are experiencing recession-like symptoms as they tighten their financial belts alongside increased inflation and interest rates. However, on an aggregate level, Canada’s economy is either holding or experiencing small growth, and technically Canadians are not in a recession because of the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP).

“Whatever you call it, Canadians are feeling financial pressure, and as always, we want to encourage listeners to keep planning what they spend, and then stick to that plan,” Reb says.

What does it take to go through challenging financial times? Dave and Reb welcome back psychotherapist Amanda Van Noppen on episode #391 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb” to talk about building resilience on your financial journey. They talk about the importance of connection, community, and contribution, as part of harnessing resources to sustain wellbeing.

They talk about the many definitions of resilience and the challenge to understand what it means. Resilience is the process of adapting well in adversity, but it also involves harnessing outside resources to sustain wellbeing.

“It’s not just internal, it is this process and this skill that we develop outside of us and develop in the community around us,” Amanda says. “It is more than just wondering ‘do we have resilience or not?’”

It started with a quote from Dave. Do we create our own wonder and do we believe God is holding out on us? Those are the thoughts prompting today’s discussion with Rev. Ray Borg on episode #390 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”. Together they dig deep and encourage listeners to peel back the layers of their belief systems, and respond to Jesus’ invitation.

“Jesus has already given us the hope found in Isaiah 61 and offers it as an invitation to us,” Ray says. “He invites us to see that He is with us in the pain and pressure and grief and He wants to give us a new hope and perspective in it. He is not holding out on us, but we do get to experience Him in the process just as He experienced His Father’s presence in His hard things. That is what held him steadfast.”
