How to Prepare for a Recession

Preparing for economic uncertainty requires a proactive approach to protect your savings and maintain financial stability. One of the smartest steps you can take is to build a robust cash reserve.

Aim to have three to six months' worth of living expenses in a relatively safe, liquid account—such as a high-yield savings account, interest-bearing checking account, money market savings account, or a short-term investment like a money market fund or short-term CD—plus enough cash to cover any upcoming sizable expenses.

Key Takeaways: Maintaining proper liquidity ensures you can weather a downturn without being forced to sell your investments at a loss.
