How Do You Handle a Recession? [EP. 42]

In the enlightening episode of The Chase titled How Do You Handle a Recession? host Chris McAlpin offers invaluable insights into navigating the challenging waters of financial downturns. Drawing from both biblical teachings and modern economic principles, Chris delves into the cyclical nature of economies, emphasizing the inevitability of both growth and contraction phases.

He underscores the importance of recognizing these cycles and making informed decisions based on current economic indicators. The episode sheds light on the significance of understanding inflation, the impact of global events on the economy, and the role of personal financial management during recessions. Drawing parallels with the biblical story of Joseph, Chris highlights the value of preparation and foresight in financial planning.
