" fiscal crisis " does n’t mean we ’re gon na cease grease one’s palms the necessities — or , in some cases , the little luxuries .

Withtalk growingabout a potential recession on the horizon, plenty of people are talking abouthow to preparefor one orhow they saved moneyduring the last recession. Higher prices on imported goods mean that people will probably slow their spending. However…

There are some things we simply can’t live without, even when times get tough. So, I want to know: what would you not stop buying, even if a recession hit?

Maybe you’ve figured out an inflation-proof grocery list, and know exactly where to buy specific items. I’m curious to hear about it!

Maybe you’ll need to keep buying items like contact lenses or medications, even if prices are rising.

Perhaps you know yourself well enough to know that you’ll still indulge in little luxuries like coffee or tea from a café, clothes shopping, skincare, or getting your hair and nails done — even if your manicures are done at home. Tell me about it!

Maybe your little luxuries are honestly more along the lines of alcohol, weed, cigarettes,ice cream, or movie tickets.

Or perhaps your list is strictly made up of necessities like food, heat, and healthcare. I want to hear more.
