Are you and your families preparing for a recession next year or just going with the flow and hoping for the best?

I honestly thought we were in one already too and then people keep saying that we aren't so I was confused. All I can say is that I don't know how things can get much more rough than they already are. This is such a challenging time for so many.

I agree if things got much more worse truly I’d need a third job!!!

Definitely trying to save every penny we can right now. Feels like we're already in a recession if I'm being honest. I think that anyone who denies that is sort of living in a different reality. So, we're trying to save as much as we can but it's definitely difficult right now in this economy

I don’t anticipate that much will change, other than the fact that I’ll be able to buy my investments at cheaper prices during a bear market.

The work I do in healthcare needs to be done in order for the Medicare money to continue to flow (and this has NOTHING to do with sending claims), so I have job security, since I’m good at what I do and for the most part, play well with others.

So yeah…I will continue to work, pay my bills, save, invest and do my thing. Right now, I have a 3 month emergency fund saved up (and am continuing to fund it slowly but surely), but the state I live in is also very generous when it comes to unemployment (26 weeks) and they also have paid medical/family leave for up to 3 months, so I’ll be OK if worse comes to worse.

I genuinely think we are in a quiet recession that nobody is willing to admit. The amount of places that are going out or are just about to go out of business is, I feel, under reported. It's just a matter of time before there is a straw to break the camels back. We are already seeing massive layoffs and closures in multiple industries that are bringing the economic reality to light.

Any advice how to calculate what I should keep on reserve vs. invest + learn about consequences of pulling investments early (more tax, fees, etc.). I feel like the inability to access funds when my family needs it has been the reason I haven’t invested outside of 401k and have this cash reserve
