moira77 asked:


I keep seeing news about the fact that a recession may be coming. I am curious as to how this affects a normal person, not involved with the stock market etc. For instance, will prices go up for food, clothing, etc? Are there any ways to prepare for a recession? Any ways to benefit from a recession?
