Preparing financially for the future
With the perspective of an economic crisis in 2020, some of us already have to rethink our spending habits to make ends meet. Others may feel more financially secure. But when recessions come, they tend to come for everyone.

How to treat your income
Whatever income you are earning right now should be treated like itâs temporary.
Treat your current income as if it might need to stretch for as long as possible. It doesn't mean you need to cut back on everything, but you might need to consider cutting some of your expenses so that you can put more money into savings.

Saving versus spending
Saving money now is worth more than spending money later. This advice applies to any budget item that you could spend less on now.
Even if it is a really great deal, remind yourself that cash in hand now is worth more than an unnecessary purchase.

The next thirty days of saving
If you're unsure what you should be doing with your money right now, cut expenses and save every bit of money for the next 30 days. Then, reevaluate.
- Did you trim as much as you could've?
- Did you purchase anything you regret?
- Did you fail to purchase something you should have?
- How did your budget affect your overall quality of life?
Continue to budget, reflect, and repeat while saving as much as possible.
