When you turn on the news these days, there are constant stories about the stock market plummeting, housing reaching an all time high, and inflation getting out of control. These are scary headlines, but I have three steps (plus a bonus one) to put yourself in a position to use this economic downturn as a springboard to further secure your family’s wealth and future prosperity. Remember, this is a slow down, not a shut down, and it doesn’t have to be a slow down for you. You’re going to have to put in a little more leg work to tighten your budget, invent a new income, and build your 12-month emergency fund, but it’s not impossible. If you follow those three steps or are already set up with those buffers, liquidate as much as you can and invest in assets that are at majorly discounted prices right now. If you follow my lead, you’ll be untouchable in this recession.
