When you get back to your desk in September, start prepping your finances for a possible recession. Thirty-four percent of economists in a poll released earlier this month by the National Association for Business Economics predict that a slowing economy will veer into recession in 2021, up from 25% in February. What’s more, another 38% expect it to occur in 2020.The New York Federal Reserve puts the probability of a recession within a year above 30%.
3. Use up other company perks while you still can as well. Gym reimbursement? Education and training assistance? Company discounts on things you want to buy? There may be all sorts of benefits and perks lurking on your organization’s human resources portal. Use them before you lose them. Just don’t overspend in order to take advantage of these discounts. You may, for instance, be better off holding off on those restaurant vouchers and eating at home instead.
6. Line up more credit while you’re still drawing a salary. Whether it’s a home equity line of credit or a new credit card, you’ll find it a lot easier to attract the bank while you’re in a job. And it may be a lifeline in an economic slump. “You should get a line of credit in place while employed,” says financial adviser Elliot Herman in Quincy, Mass. This will help you if that emergency fund runs out or keep you afloat if you are between jobs.
8. Stop hemorrhaging money. Do you really need Hulu, Netflix NFLX, -0.39% and Amazon Prime AMZN, +1.23% ? Do you really need to pay the monthly fee for that spinning class you never attend? Treat talk of a possible recession as an opportunity. “This is the best time to take a deep look at your finances and thinks of ways to cut on unnecessary expenditures,” says planner Alex Caswell in San Francisco. Directly funnel the savings into your bank account, he says.

If the economy is in recession, blame the federal reserve.
They raised the fed funds rate at the very end of Obama's time in office. They raised it 7 times since President Trump got in office with QT as well. And comments here call him a clown. Those are the very people that will lose their retirement money...if they even have any.
The suggestion by the GOP that Democrats want the economy to fail is insane! IF the economy goes into a recession, it's because of POTUS tariffs and the GOP TaxScamBill causing the exploding deficit!!! VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
