Are we on our way to an actual depression (as opposed to the Great Recession)? Occasionally, hubby and I have discussed digging a well, building an outhouse and putting in another wood stove and I have on rare occasion considered buying a generator. Give cash gifts to my adult children with suggestions to buy in the down market.

I’d rather buy stocks at a lower price and sell them at a higher one if I can. We individual investors have all become market skittish since the recent huge recession and economic downturn.

Some asset types do better during inflationary years, some do better in recessions. You can trim off losing investments to free up the money to buy investments that will grow. Unless you want to spend a fortune to buy large specimens of plants and trees, you need to plan your landscaping for growth over time.

Even as inflation comes down and the Federal Reserve’s tightening cycle looks like it’s about to end , the economy still faces the risk of a recession. You can buy the Series I bond from TreasuryDirect.gov, which is operated by the U.S. When inflation rises, the bond’s interest rate is adjusted upward.

Although we think of the Great Recession starting in early 2009, it wasn’t until 2013 that the 5 year CD interest rate fell below 1% – and has stayed there ever since according to Bank Rates interest survey data.
