💰Should you invest during a recession?

read time 2 minutes

Hi there,

Lately, the headlines have been loud. Talk of war, recession, and uncertainty.

And every time this happens, I notice the same reaction.

People panic. They pull back. They wait. I used to feel that way too.

But over time, I learned something that completely changed how I see moments like this:

Recessions are when wealth is built. Not destroyed.

Every major downturn tells the same story. After 2008. After COVID.

The people who kept investing came out far ahead. Not because they were lucky, but because they bought when everything was discounted.

When the market drops, you’re not buying something new. You’re buying the same assets wealthy people own, just 30 – 40% cheaper.

That’s why, while most people are sitting on the sidelines right now, I’ve been doing the opposite. I’ve invested over $50,000 in the past few weeks.

Not because I know exactly what will happen next. But because I know how this usually plays out.

The market has recovered from every recession in history. And once it does, those discounts disappear. If you don’t have money to invest right now, that’s your signal.

Increase your income. Start something on the side. Build cash so you’re ready the next time an opportunity shows up. Because waiting until everything feels “safe” usually means you’ve already missed it.

If you want to keep it simple, here’s what I focus on:

• VOO – the top 500 companies. This alone is enough for most people.
• QQQM or VUG – higher growth, a bit more risk.
• SCHD – for dividends, getting paid just to hold.

Nothing complicated. Just consistency.

I now have multiple millions invested. Everything I share comes from doing, not just talking. So zoom out, Aanisha. Ignore the noise. And remember: the moments that feel the worst… are usually the best time to act.
