If inflation recedes and the Fed is seen as being able to respond to a recession with lower rates,

This makes no sense. Inflation won't recede unless the Fed raises rates to double digits. Just like in the early 80s.

Recession = Three consecutive quarters of negative growth.

Inflation = Too many dollars chasing too few goods.

Leftists = Demons from Hell.

“ For U.S. households, the best strategies to employ, according to McBride, are paying down debt, boosting emergency savings, and taking advantage of the market downturn.”

Pay down debt? Only if you are on fixed income, as your debt % will decrease as your income increases.

Boosting emergency savings? As those savings decline 18% per year?

Taking advantage of the market downturn? Sell now and hope you can buy cheaper later?

This is an argument to liquidate dollar assets and buy physical assets.

I’ve seen this movie before.

Recession affects the bottom 25% of earners. To survive in business, cater to those above that.

The more self-sufficient you are, the less you’ll be affected by things like inflation. If anyone doesn’t have a garden, find a way to establish one. Some squash, beans, and potatoes are a good start. More is better, but those are a good start.

Sorry, apparently the article did, indeed, provide a detailed list of possible actions one could take to prepare:

For U.S. households, the best strategies to employ, according to McBride, are paying down debt, boosting emergency savings, and taking advantage of the market downturn.

Yeah, a real nimrod, this one!

"What should I do to protect myself?"

"Oh, that's easy: Taken advantage of the situation!"

And since when was it ever a bad idea to reduce debt and boost savings?!

Brilliant!

Regards,

taking advantage of the market downturn..........
“The risk of jumping out of the market and waiting on the sidelines is that you have to make two correct decisions, not just one. You have to get out at the right time and get back in at the right time,”

Well, duh. Anyone who has that crystal ball is likely on his own island being pampered by beautiful Polynesian servants.

Might as well suggest one accurately predict the winning number for the lottery.

Stagflation is already here. Everyone but the Fed appears to know it. We as consumers certainly see it every single day.
