Recession-Proof Your Life

The economy is in shambles.  It's tough to find financial security in times like these.  Lucky for you, I'm here with some more advice.  I'll tell you exactly how to take your money, cram it down Uncle Sam's star-spangled throat, and watch as he Chocolate-Rains an even greater fortune into your life.

You may be wondering, "Why should I take economic advice from a guy who doesn't have a job?"  Well once again, I have predicted exactly what you were thinking, so check and mate.  I accept your surrender.

Here are some tips to help you ride the recession tsunami on a yacht of financial security without even spilling your Kool-Aid.  (Purple-flavored, of course.)

-Buy gold.  The value of any type of currency fluctuates, and buying gold is the first step to becoming a famous rapper.  Rap is recession-proof, and a surefire way to keep makin' papers.

-Get a job with benefits.  Jobs with benefits are not like friends with benefits, unless you're a hooker.  Except in either case a doctor might grope and put stuff inside of you.  So I guess that's some kind of benefit.

-Buy low, sell high.  In case you didn't know, the stock market is mostly controlled by wishes and Dr. Seuss type nonsense.  So selling when you're high might actually work better for you.

-Spend within your means.  America didn't become the powerful country it is by spending way more money than it could possibly ever pay back.  Wait, it did?  We're trillions of dollars in debt and our credit rating dropped?  Well then...

-Spend beyond your means.  America didn't become the powerful country it is by letting something like an empty piggy bank stop it.  Buy the mansion you can't afford.  You deserve it.  And you'll pay it back someday... maybe... probably not...

-Take advantage of low interest rates.  I'm not sure what that means or how to do it.  I've seen it on several commercials, so I assume it's sound financial advice.

I'm so lonely.

-Write your congressman.  He's lonely, and he misses you.

-Always have a Plan B.  Life is expensive enough without an unwanted pregnancy, so keep a Plan B pill around just in case.

I accept thanks in the form of check, cash, and money order.  It is a recession, after all, and advice this good rarely comes this cheap.
