Do you think a global recession is looming this year? With the new tariffs and rising costs, it’s hard to see how they’re benefiting any economy. Everything seems to be getting more expensive, and the markets are already down 10–20%, depending on the index—it’s starting to feel like a real squeeze. Are you starting to feel the impact? I’ve seen people stocking up on essentials like toilet paper before prices rise.

I’m not very optimistic for the rest of this year, honestly not doing much in preparation though. I get the stockpiling because prices on everything are expected to soar, but we also should have learned our lesson from covid and the dockworkers strike. We figured it out then and I’m sure we’ll figure it out again.

Totally fair, things do feel uncertain, but you’re right, we’ve been through rough patches before and managed to adapt. Hopefully it won’t get too bad, but being mentally prepared definitely helps.

Based on the markets alone, yes I can’t see any other option at this point. It’s insanity.

Yeah, the way the markets are moving, it really does feel like we’re headed in that direction. It’s been a wild ride lately.

Getting too close to retirement and it's all been a bit much lately. Definitely not stockpiling yet, but will now be driving my 11 yo car a bit longer than I had hoped. I cannot afford another 2008 recession loss.
