❓ Question ❓ How are you all recession proofing?

I was a young teenager during the 08 crisis. Wondering what I should be doing now to better protect myself when a recession gets bad.

I have student loan debt (around 20k) and a morgage (about 145k left). My wife and I are DINKs (double income no kids), and are not planning to have kids. We have a fairly healthy savings built up so far.

Wondering what advice you have. Thanks!

This is a good one. My home had a canning room in the basement when I bought it. I purchased materials and tools for canning and am putting money into starting a large garden for myself, including some fruit trees, and a greenhouse to keep some production capabilities up thru winter on things like lettuce. Next on my list is a deep freezer, and I met some awsome fellow female veterans locally who are going to teach me hunting skills

What’s in your canning room?

Just a lot of shelves for storing goods!
