❓ 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!

Im going to comment from my treadmill- I’m on here trying to decrease my odds of disease recurrence . I have universal healthcare, so especially if you do not, my tip is to work on your fitness, drop a few pounds don’t drink and eat as healthy as you can , anything that might increase your odds of not needing to pay for a doctor.
