FROM TIMES

A Recession Is Widely Expected. Here’s How to Prepare

 

As Anthony Okocha started hearing more and more talk about a potential recession earlier this year, he didn’t get nervous—he got practical. The 2021 college grad says his mindset became “control what I can control and minimize the risk of what I cannot,” while taking steps to prepare for a recession.

“My main focus is on becoming indispensable, or as close to indispensable as possible, especially in my career,” says Okocha, 23, who works in tech sales.

In recent months, he paid off his car loan and credit card debt, and has re-evaluated his monthly budget to find ways to cut back so he can allocate more money to saving and investing.

PETS OF THE WEEK

Ernie

 

Ernie pet of the week

This is Ernie 🥹. Ernie is a lot of personality wrapped into a single dog. He’s a very vocal pup and not afraid to speak his mind.

He has a favorite blanket he will carry around the house, but also likes to lay on pillows. He will often build forts with them and burrow. Ernie prances when he’s at a slow jog, like a show horse winning first prize. He makes his humans laugh regularly and feel loved every moment he is around. Ernie loves them ❤️.
