Despite what you think or what people have actually told you, it is quite possible to get rich even during a recession.
If you currently have some extra money and you want to make sure that you are prepared for the worst, stop investing in your country.
If your country is in a recession or on the verge, put your money somewhere else.
Look for a country that has a good, strong economy and invest your money there.
This way you know that if anything happens to you at all, or to your country, you will still be covered.
If you are choosing to invest your money into the stock market, continue to do it, but raise your level of caution.
During a recession, the stock market could crash and whatever money you have in the stock market will most likely be lost and you could be out thousands of dollars that you were counting on, to take care of yourself during some hard times if needed.
The main thing that you want to keep in mind when investing during a recession is to just be careful with your money.
Investing can be a tricky thing if you are not too sure about what it is you are doing.
Go international if you feel your money is going to be sager in some other country.
If you do invest in a different county, make sure to check out and compare the currency rates, this way you will not be taking a big cut on your money, when you invest.
