Dreamers’ Wealth of Wisdom:
  • Recessions are a gift and a curse. The economy is not stable, but it’s also an opportunity to build or expand wealth.
  • Reduce your spending be proactive by paying off debt so it doesn’t negatively impact your credit score.
  • To even things out, invest consistently (either weekly or biweekly) no matter what is going on. Keep investing and do not be afraid when you see your numbers going down because there’s a lot of volatility.
  • I don’t spend too much time obsessing over how much money I “lost”. Because you don’t lose until you sell and I’m not planning on selling. So I would much rather continue to dollar cost average so that I can take advantage of the market downturn.
  • If you can set aside money just in case, it will do nothing other than help you. 
  • Review your expenses to encourage cutting in some areas and not spend as much. 
  • Invest in yourself. Invest time so that you can improve or learn new skills, which will make you more marketable and more competitive as a job candidate or as a business owner.
  • Recessions are bound to happen, how you prepared for them and how you react to them is going to determine whether it’s going to have a positive or negative impact on your finances.
