I think we ARE headed for a full recession, if not a full blown economic depression.
DH and I had put off downsizing into a condo/townhouse. The way things are going I think I'm glad we did. We've got room to grow our own, a pasture for a cow, a pig pen (needing work!) and room to rent out 'allotments' to others. Yikes! I'm really prepping now!
