3 tips to become a millionaire during this recession:
Understand:
With the right mindset and determination, you can build long-term wealth during tough economic times.
It's important to understand that recessions are temporary and the economy will recover.
It's essential to have a long-term perspective when building wealth.
Economic cycles are fluctuations in economic activity. Cycles are periods of expansion, where the economy is growing, and periods of contraction, where the economy is shrinking.
Recessions are a natural part of the economic cycle when the economy reaches a point of contraction.
1) Start a business or side-hustle:
While it may seem counterintuitive, recessions are a great time to start a business or side-hustle. With fewer people starting new businesses during tough economic times, there's less competition, and it can be easier to stand out.
2) Increase your income & use money resourcefully:
Increase your income by negotiating a raise, starting a side hustle, or looking for a higher-paying job.
Use the excess money to invest in undervalued stocks and real estate properties at a discount.
2a) Raises:
If you've been performing well at your job and have been with the company for a while, negotiate a higher salary.
Do your research and have an idea of what you would like to earn, as well as what your skills and experience are worth in the current job market.
2b) Higher paying job:
Understand your personal strengths and skills, research and identify job opportunities that align with your goals and qualifications, prepare for the job search process, develop new skills or get additional certifications.
Be patient and don't give up.
2c) Side-hustle:
It can be anything from starting a small online store to offering consulting services in your area of expertise.
Build an online presence with a website, blog, or social media accounts, to connect with potential customers and partners and promote your business.
2d) Stock Market:
It's important to remember that the market is cyclical and it will eventually recover.
Invest in undervalued companies with strong fundamentals.
Develop an investment plan with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
2e) Real Estate:
While the overall housing market may be depressed during a recession, there may be specific segments of the market that are less affected.
Properties in areas with strong job markets or properties in high-demand areas may still be a good investment.
Research and identify properties. Use real estate listings, real estate agents, real estate investment seminars & networking events.
Consider factors such as location, property condition, and potential rental income or resale value when evaluating potential properties.
3) Money discipline:
Be disciplined with your spending during a recession. Create a budget, cut unnecessary expenses, and avoid impulse purchases.
By being mindful of your spending, you can save more money, which can be used to invest in wealth-building opportunities.
It's important to track your spending for at least a month to get an accurate picture of where your money is going. This will help you identify areas where you can cut back and also help you identify areas where you can allocate more money towards your financial goals.
Building wealth during a recession requires a long-term perspective.
Invest in assets that have the potential to appreciate in value during tough economic times, start a business, increase income and be disciplined with your spending, so you can build wealth during a recession.
It's important to have a plan and be patient and disciplined.
