Preparing For A Recession With Paul Merriman and Ed Fulbright On Mastering Your Money Radio
A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters with a down turn in the economy. Many people believe we are already in a recession. During a recession, the economy struggles, people lose work, companies make fewer sales and the country's overall economic output declines. The point where the economy officially falls into a recession depends on a variety of factors. Rental agents, landlords, and property management companies can thrive during a recession when renting is likely to become a more appealing option, if not the only one available. Some people are reducing debt and creating cash to prepare for early retirement, loss of work and new opportunities that may arise unexpectedly. .
