Show Notes
We need to get into some economics today and I'm going to do some prognosticating. This is a very rare event on the show, so here goes!
Prediction: there will be a global recession in the future. And gas will go up to $20/gallon.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about what we can do to get ready for it! After all, that's the only thing that likely matters to you or me.
One of the keys to being financially successfully over the long term is to avoid the big mistakes. One big mistake (of many) might be getting laid flat by the coming recession and increase in gas prices.
Today I share with you some thoughts on some of the things you can do today to prepare for this eventuality.
I hope these ideas are useful to you!
Joshua
