Manage episode 430302519 series 1900058
Are we in a recession? Are we headed for a recession? No one knows for certain, but you can never be too prepared for an economic downturn. Are you saving money? Do you have a plan in the event you lose your job? In today’s episode, we’ll help prepare you for anything that might be thrown your way!
Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Amidst economic uncertainty, there are two steps you must take to weather tough times: build an emergency fund and brace for a potential layoff. Today, Mindy and guest co-host Amanda Wolfe are bringing you their best money tips for getting through a recession. First, they’ll show you how to pad your emergency fund by saving hundreds on groceries each month, negotiating your bills, and eliminating unnecessary expenses from your budget. Believe it or not, it might even be time to cut back on aggressive debt paydown or extra 401(k) contributions!
Next, they’ll help you with a potential job search. You’ll learn how to get your resume seen by more employers and determine your market pay rate. But that’s not all. Stick around until the end to learn why staying with your current company—regardless of whether your job is at risk—could cost you millions of dollars over your lifetime!
