November 01, 2022 EPISODE 21: Are We In a Recession? You Be The Judge!
Greetings and welcome to Ready or Not Prepares: the Podcast. In this week's episode join Michele, your practical prepper each week as she discusses emergency and disaster preparedness information and knowledge to help as we navigate such trying and turbulent times.
This week Ready or Not Prepares asks the question: Are we actually in a recession? What do you think from your daily experience and observation, as opposed to what we are being told? A recession is technically defined as "a falling GDP based on or including the labor market, consumer and business spending, industrial production, and incomes data." In short, or at least my understanding of it is, a steady decline of the economy that impacts our lifestyle and how we spend for a consistent period of time. If there is a recession, what are you doing to prepare? Let's talk about it!
