does it aid savings, it also boost self-discipline and wealth built, with time.
I know the readiness to grasp your parcel but slow down and read calmly.
So, here are the basic ways to survive recession;

income: Most of us are familiar with the saying “don’t put all
your eggs in one basket,” and this adage could be applied to your source of
income. Relying solely on a particular job for all your income has inherent
risk, because if the economy tanks and you lose your job, you’ll also lose your
only income and your ability to meet all your financial obligations. Having
multiple streams of income can really help. If one income source starts to
dwindle – or gets eliminated completely – you have other sources to fall back
on to help keep you afloat. Diversifying your income doesn’t necessarily entail
getting a second job – in fact if your spouse is working in a different
industry than you, you have some income diversity right there. However, if you’d
like to stretch your wings and bring in some more income you can look into many
different options such as renting out a room in your home, renting out a space
in your garage, or going so far as to buy a revenue property and rent it out. If
you have a fairly flexible schedule you can consider getting a weekend job, and
if you have particularly strong skillset or are developing one, you can look
for ways to cash in on those skills. For example, if you’re a strong writer you
can look into freelancing articles and blog posts and if you’re crafty you can
sell your creations on Fiverr. Don’t let these examples limit you, though. Any
skill or talent your have could potentially be turned into a way to earn extra
income.
#4 More Investments: In
addition to diversifying your income, it's also vital to source for more income. If you have most of your
money tied up in stock market investments, an economic downturn could be a
financial disaster if all your money is tied up in one type of investment. And
it’s for this reason that diversifying your investments is key. Go through your
investment portfolio and make sure your investments are spread out across
different industries and even different types of assets so that when the market
tumbles, your investments won’t be as affected and your losses won’t be as
deep. When it comes to diversification, you can park your money in a number of
different investment vehicles. Real estate – whether it’s buying a home, a
condo, or even land—is a common investment that generally appreciates with
time. Investing in stocks – especially the stock market index – is a good way
to help your portfolio grow, while bonds have often been a good way of bring in
income. You can also consider international investments, as diversifying into
other countries can also help to reduce your vulnerability to an economic
downturn.
#5 Identify your expenses: Expenses always oppose saving
discipline, everyone will agree to the fact that he or she has swayed or have
been guilty of reckless spending sometime before. Now, here are some
suggestions for areas that you can make changes to, maybe temporary, to suit
such economic situation; Look at your cellphone expenses. Maybe you reduce your data bundle, routine calling and texting. For families, bundling services might be the way to go.How high is that heating bill? Perhaps it’s time to lower the thermostat and throw on a sweater, or curl up under a blanket.If you spend a lot on eating out, try cooking at home. Sure, it may take more time but it will surely save you a lot of money.If your family has two vehicles, think about selling one off, put it on parking insurance to slice the price, or maybe leasing it out for commercial transport purpose.Too many kids? Involve your family and make sure you give out the one they probably like most]. “The goal here is to reduce expenses with minimal impact on lifestyle. If you cut back too extreme, it’ll be difficult to sustain for the future.”
#6 Establish a budget: A budget is “a living thing that changes over time,” Hannah explained. For someone who’s never used a budget before, it can take months to get used to. One common mistake people make, is that when they get paid, they pay all their expenses first and then wonder why there’s nothing left to save. The reverse should be encouraged. Ensure that you take out funds from your paycheck to achieve your financial goals first, and live on the rest. That way you’re sure your financial objectives are going to be met. And I advise an emergency savings plan should top the list. For people who have no emergency savings fund and also have debt, Hannah said it’s still important to set money aside while paying down the bills. This surely will take care of economic recession.
#7 Utilize a paycheck planner: Before you get paid, you should have a good idea of how you’re going to spend the money. If you have a big expense like an insurance payment coming up, ideally, you should be setting aside a certain amount per paycheck so that you have the funds on hand when the money’s due. “It’s one of the areas that frustrates a lot of people because they don’t set those funds aside. And then when it comes time to pay, they don’t have the cash to deal with it and, therefore, dip back to using credit again to find that they’re really not making progress.”
#2 Dress sharp with low cash: This so really work for many. Attire goes a long way to
speak volume. Once, so decently and attractively dressed, the wallet would be
concluded farther than you expect…a bonus. You still can to be high places,
having the norm that expenses only occur in rare occasions. Only to go back
home and struggle with your survival story.
