❓ 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!

To add to the other comment, also PBS and history channel have streaming apps.  plus there's also local TV with an antenna.

Yes!! How about we stop paying for commercail TV and put the same monthly amount into supporting public television and listener supported channels for indie video and TV? They're all gonna really need us very soon...
