I'm sure many of you have heard that the white house has said that a recession isn't inevitable, which makes me think that it is, in fact, inevitable.
I've purged unneeded subscriptions, eating out, and now I only travel by car when necessary, which is fairly often unfortunately. what else can be done to soften the blow?
If you're legitimately looking to buy a house I think a recession is the time to do it no? Could be cheaper

I'm just going to buy far into the woods, and open my land/home to comrades.
The catch to this is that it either requires you to produce everything on-site or become very vulnerable to fuel prices and infrastructure integrity.
People need people, or at least they do better around a good amount of other people. I think the opportunity for communization lies in smaller urban areas, especially if you can find a place that's affordable and still has something interesting going for it. I wouldn't know where to look in Canada, though.
Yeah but the clock is ticking on my current living situation, and the rental market near me is ridiculous. My purchasing plan involves moving to the other side of the country, it's not the easiest thing to line up right now.
Ahh fuck yeah the rental situation near me is bonkers also,could you easily change jobs and move?
How long can you hold on to a loan approval for after you get it?
I was able to lock in for 3 months max, but 1 month at the best rate. Note these were variable and last year before our prime jumped. So not sure what that looks like now. I'm not too worried, I have a downpayment, and ultimately 4% to even 8% doesn't really matter as it will still be cheaper than rent.
