Today I wanted to discuss what we should do, and what we shouldn’t do in the context of money – right now, considering there is a real chance that we’re about to enter an economic recession.

Recently I got news that my parents were laid off along with everyone else in my immediate family. If you were laid off the first thing you need to do is set up your unemployment benefits.

Once you’ve set up some passive income if you don’t have a job, here are 5 things to avoid doing with your money and investing right now.

#1 Do not move your money from your bank account into a mattress. Don’t cash out your money and put it somewhere, it’s not going to help. In fact, it’s going to put your money in a more risky situation if something happens to your house. Your bank should be FDIC insured which means even if it goes under, which most likely it will not, your money will still be insured up to the legal limit of $250,000 and you’ll be fine.

#2 Do not sell your investments and do not touch your retirement accounts. At the end of the day, the stock market can recover just as quickly as it fell and no one knows or can predict the stock market bottom when investing.

#3 if you need money for the next 3 to 6 months like my parents, do NOT INVEST, pause contributing to any retirement accounts, unless you have enough to cover for your expenses because it’s likely the market will continue to fall as the layoffs get worse. Be careful contributing to your retirement account (beyond employer contribution matching) only to realize that money could have been useful to pay your bills because you just got laid off. It may not make sense to withdraw your money because it lost a significant portion of it’s value so hope for the best, plan for the worst.

#4 Avoid scams. There is an influx of people posing as the CDC, the IRS, or people promising to have new investment opportunities ajljljnd while you’re staying home, you will receive suspicious looking emails asking you for money, your login details, and you want to use caution and be extremely careful.

Here is what you do want do with your money:

#1 Build an emergency fund. Hopefully after watching my channel you already have one but if not, NOW is the time to build one. You need 3 – 6 months of cash stock piled to pay your monthly necessities. 6 – 9 months if you want to be conservative. You can do this by reducing your expenses and cutting out unnecessary spending.

You can also do this by selling off unnecessary goods and luxury items you may have that you’re not using. You can also do this by taking on side hustles like driving Uber, Uber Eats, postmates, task rabbit, and my personal favorite, Airbnb. If you’re out of a job, your time is crucial, don’t treat it like an extended vacation. Don’t take on extra debt.

#2 While you’re doing the above, track each dollar with apps like Mint, or Personal Capital to see where your money is going then ask yourself if you can cover your debts for the next few months if you don’t have a job. If you cannot, it’s important to call your banks and credit cards and ask them about any relief programs you can take advantage of. In the case of real estate and your house, if there is nothing available, the last resort is to ask for “forbearance”.

  1. Excellent Video Setup, Mr Thomas Hutchinson has been my stock broker for the past 2 months i got recommended to him here on YouTube. I started on short terms with him having $3400 but now my portfolio is worth about $4500.

  2. Investing in 2020 have taken a new dimension. After the 2008 recession investing took a different dimension than it was before 2008, and in 2020 due to the coronavirus, investing has equally taken another new dimension.

    Before 2020, anyone can wake up, invest in anything of their choice and make profit, but 2020 changed that.

    Now if you don’t invest smartly, you are either going to end up with no profit or lose your investment totally to wrong investing.

    I’ve been an investor, and I am still investing in well proven and well to do asset.

    Some asset has shown that despite any meltdown that may occur, there won’t be any form of market negativity towards it, such investment are digital assets such as bitcoin.

    If you have not been considering digital asset investing or don’t know how to invest, I will urge you to take the time out now and consider it.

    I invested in Bitcoin by March 15, 2020, when all market asset was down, lucky for me I invested because a professional investor and trader named Nyberg Hansson told me to do so, and fast forward to June 2020, I have gotten over 200% increase in my asset, and not only that, he equally taught me how to trade cryptocurrency, he provides me with signals to trade with, now I earn profit from both ways.

    If you have not been considering digital assets investment, now is the time to do so, and do well by contacting Nyberg Hansson through (nyberghansson@protonmail.com), Telegram @nyberghan, and WhatsApp +447427229815, so that he will guide you on how to get started.

  3. 8:14 Hey Andrei! One quick question. So when determining what stock to buy, how do you distinguish between if a stock price is determined through regular trading vs. when its been artificially jacked up? In other words, how do you tell if the price you see is because they bought their own stocks to keep prices high or is it natural? What pieces of data do you compare and calculate?
    Thanks!

  4. Recording success in cryptocurrency Bitcoin is not just buying and hold till when bitcoin sky-rocks, this has been longed abolished by intelligent traders ,mostly now that bitcoin bull is still controlling the market after successfully defended the $9000 support level once again ad this is likely to trigger a possible move towards $9400 resistance area
    However , it’s is best advice you find a working strategy/daily signals that works well in other to accumulate and grow a very strong portfolio ahead. I have been trading with Miss Melissa Levy daily signals and strategy, her guidance makes trading less stressful and more profit despite the recent fluctuations. I was able to easily increase my portfolio in just 4weeks of trading with Melissa daily signals growing 1.5 BTC to 6.7 BTC. Melissas daily signals are very accurate and yields a great positive return on investment and is available to give assistance to anyone who love crypto trading, you can contact her on WhatsApp: +14242850682 and telegram : Fxmelissa for inquires and profitable trading systems.

  5. I got laid off so I started this YouTube channel. And I reached 1000 subscribers in less than 2 months. If it's hard to find another job, find something else online. There are so much opportunities out there.
