How to Prepare for a Recession: 5 Steps to Take Now

The most recent recession occurred in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. It was one of the quickest yet severe recessions to occur yet.

If you want to be better prepared for the next one — and there will be a next one — here’s what you need to know.
