October 13, 2020

The pandemic has raised concerns for many due to the financial complications it may have caused due to the economy, job losses, and for business owners who are dealing with reduced sales levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lot of financial struggle for people, and unfairly so. But if there is anything to learn from this pandemic, it is to be resilient. And resilient with our finances.

Job lay-offs, or fear of a job loss, have been the number one concern for people. Commonly a primary source of income, you may be concerned about your finances and how to manage your money through uncertainty.

4 ways young people can start building wealth, even in a recession

It may sound crazy to talk about building wealth during a recession in which millions are struggling with unemployment and paying their bills. But financial expert Patrice Washington says that not only can Americans dig themselves out of debt right now, they can take steps toward building long-lasting wealth.

“It’s really hard to think about how you can build wealth in the midst of a recession, and I think that a lot of times we assume it’s about being a millionaire,” Washington tells CNBC Make It.

But it’s not. Building wealth is all about having the right mindset, Washington says. “A recession is how I actually built my whole life and career,” she says. “I lost everything in the Great Recession and had to start over from scratch.”

Here are four approaches Washington recommends working on now to set yourself up for financial success.

1. Forgive yourself

Global Recession Risks | Seeking Alpha

The global economy is experiencing its deepest recession since 1946. We project that world real GDP will decline by 4.8% in 2020, a far worse outcome than the 1.7% contraction in 2009 at the height of the global financial crisis.

As countries remove restrictions on activities, the global economy is recovering. However, new outbreaks of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus and the likelihood that a vaccine will not be widely available before mid-2021 make any assessment of the economic outlook challenging. Several forces are likely to impede the post-crisis recovery, including the financial stresses of households and businesses, crowd avoidance, eventual withdrawal of fiscal stimulus, and losses in capital formation.

The United States has experienced the highest number of COVID-19 cases. After a deep recession in March and April, a robust recovery began in May. With infection rates remaining high and fiscal support diminishing, economic growth is now slowing.

U.S. exporters struggle to gain ground as global recession remains severe

The nation’s export performance is unlikely to improve anytime soon.

After narrowing earlier this year as the pandemic arrived on American shores, the goods deficit swelled in recent months. Aggressive U.S. crisis-fighting efforts that gave consumers $1,200 stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits fueled a surge in imports, while weak demand from abroad left U.S. exports depressed.

“There doesn’t seem to be any real bright spot that’s going to drag us out of this long, hard slog,” said economist Megan Greene, a senior fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.

Economies in Europe, Japan, Brazil and India all will suffer deeper recessions this year than the United States. U.S. output is expected to drop by 4 percent in 2020 while Europe will experience a roughly 7 percent decline, according to S&P Global Ratings. And the outlook through the first half of next year is for more of the same,

Big U.S. banks to report profit plunge as pandemic recession takes hold

By David Henry

NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (Reuters) – As big U.S. commercial banks close their books on the third quarter, analysts expect them to report a 30% to 60% plunge in profits on the year-ago period due to the pandemic-induced recession and near record low interest rates.

That slump in third quarter net income comes even though lenders are not going to make outsized provisions for expected loan losses as they did in the first and second quarters.

And, while capital markets and investment banking revenue is expected to be up from 5% to 20%, that won’t be enough to make up for the decline in interest income from loans and securities.

“You have soft loan growth and you’re still feeling the impact from aggressive Fed actions earlier this year,” said analyst Jason Goldberg of Barclays.

In Unusual Trend, US Trade Deficit Widens In 2020 Recession

When things turn sour for the U.S. economy, the country’s trade deficit, i.e. the difference between exports and imports, usually narrows. As consumer spending goes down during economic downturns, so do imports of goods directly or indirectly targeted at consumers, and as Americans tend to travel less during recessions, service imports (which is how tourist spending abroad is accounted for) also tend to fall. At the same time, loose monetary policy tends to result in a relatively weak dollar, in turn boosting exports and attracting foreign tourists.

As the following chart illustrates, things are different this time around. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic having brought on the deepest recession on record along with an unprecedented jobs crisis, the current downturn did not result in the usual narrowing of the U.S. trade deficit. Quite the

Cross-training is the Best Resource You Already Have to Survive a Recession

An important lesson I had to learn early on in my entrepreneurial journey is that, in the face of a crisis, you must leverage whatever assets you have to secure a solid foundation for your business. Lean on your skill sets, tools, space, and perhaps your greatest resource: your people.

When it’s time to get lean, encouraging and training the people on your team to develop skills in more than one area of the business is often a smart move. It’s called cross-training, and it could be the strategy that helps your business survive the toughest times.

Save money on headcount

The primary reason you hire an employee is because they can do their job well, which of course is of the utmost importance. But it’s also worth evaluating how diversifying an employee’s expertise to include multiple areas of the business can help improve your bottom line.

While just everyone seems to think the U.S. needs another round of stimulus, politicians in Washington can’t seem to get their act together. After talks broke down in August, calls for more stimulus from Federal Reserve officials, several high-profile CEOs, and centrist politicians seem to have gotten talks back on track. Meanwhile, last week’s recent unemployment numbers came in worse than expected, fueling more urgency.

However, it’s still unclear if renewed negotiations will be successful, or if anything will pass before a contentious election. A lack of new stimulus could mean more unemployment and another leg down in the economy. Meanwhile, while there has been some positive vaccine news, it’s unlikely any vaccine would be widely available before next spring, should a vaccine be approved at all.

Is Being a Personal Trainer a Recession Proof Profession?

As a response to the Global financial crisis in 2008, the Conservative party led coalition government of the United kingdom have embarked upon a financial policy of strict austerity for the last few years. Whether you agree with this policy or not, their intention is to cut government spending and the deficit, with the ultimate goal of getting the country into a position where it is able to eliminate the budget deficit altogether. They have used the slogan “In it together” both as a reference to their unlikely coalition cooperation and to the hard austere times the people of the UK would have to endure for better or for worse under their government. The measures have damaged many small and large business as well as entire sectors and seemingly nobody was passing through completely unscathed.

However certain professions are said to be “recession proof” in that they will always be … Read More
