Making money in a recession a survival guide for businesses and how to avoid going bust and continue to make money in a recession.

You, I and the rest of the working population are what makes the economy go round. If we don't get our sums right, the government cannot keep dipping their hands in our pockets and robbing us blind. If we get things wrong, we end up having to go to the government and asking them for help - these are generally called benefits although why I have yet to work out because they are of little benefit to anyone in real financial trouble.

The reality is, if you have been earning in excess of twenty five thousand pounds per annum, the government, in one form or another has most likely received close to eighteen thousand pounds of what you earned back in taxes in one shape or another in the form of

We are in a recession, not entering one, not trying to stave off a recession we are actually sitting in the middle of what could become a major depression. When property prices start to fall and money is not readily available, the markets lose confidence, people keep their hands in their pockets and the whole thing escalates.

People who own their own property who had been feeling relatively well off and secure because of the continued rise in property prices are now feeling decidedly vulnerable as the value of their homes drop month in month out and no matter how you look at it, we have a property crash.
