EPISODE 21: Are We In a Recession? You Be The Judge!
This week Ready or Not Prepares asks the question: Are we actually in a recession? What do you think from your daily experience and observation, as opposed to what we are being told? A recession is technically defined as "a falling GDP based on or including the labor market, consumer and business spending, industrial production, and incomes data." In short, or at least my understanding of it is, a steady decline of the economy that impacts our lifestyle and how we spend for a consistent period of time. If there is a recession, what are you doing to prepare? Let's talk about it!

EPISODE 20: OPEC, Gas Prices, Consequences and Preparedness

Simply, oil prices are forecasted to jump to about $95 per barrel in the next few months and could go as high as $100 as we enter 2023. President Biden is upset and threatens consequences because of the vote to raise prices. Let's unpack some of these issues and can be put in place to prepare.
