I’ve been paranoid since before you were born ;) Here is what I did long before the current downturn.

* Cleared up credit card debt (actually all debt) 25 years ago

* Paid off mortgages

* Sold office and bought farm with year-round creek

* Stored lots of freeze-dried food

* Bought precious metals

* Kept my coding and writing skills up to date

* Moved some investments to cash positions so we have 1 year of expenses (arguably not smart due to inflation)

* Made friends with my neighbors

* Guns, duh

* Did massive infrastructure work like new plumbing, electrical, generators, roofs, decks, etc. before prices went up too high
