Ramit Sethi: How To Recession-Proof Your Life

Personal finance expert Ramit Sethi explains how to handle an unpredictable market. According to the author of "I Will Teach You To Be Rich," "you can't time the market, but success is about time in the market." Sethi advisers investors to consistently save and invest every month without paying attention to the market

Since the 2008 financial crisis, it seems like experts have been predicting that the next recession is just around the corner. It’s common to see news stating that economic indicators show the economy is poised to tumble or an economist pointing to the next bubble.

These articles can be informative, but financial coach Ramit Sethi, author of the best-selling book “I Will Teach You to Be Rich,” says young people shouldn’t take them too seriously.

Even to seasoned investors, the market is unpredictable. “Nobody knows if the stock market is going up or down tomorrow, much less six months or 12 months from now,” Sethi tells CNBC Make It.

Instead of listening to the "noise" I kept majoring in finance in 2007.
I graduated in 2008.
It was not awesome.

Only invest in the stock market if you already have an emergency fund and are out of consumer debt, no matter what the economy is doing.

Your job security is not in your control and neither is the stock market. Generate passive income through rental properties and a business so you are not dependent on the whim of your boss and the economy. Thats how I quit my job at 34 and am able to do what I love, making content on my channel to help families find financial freedom!
