If we are currently experiencing a recession, the financial experts can't seem to agree. However, rising prices for goods and services, a sharp increase in the price of gasoline, and consecutive quarters of economic contraction in the United States suggest that a recession is most certainly already under way.
So, it makes sense that you would want to limit your personal spending. During recessions, like the one we seem to be in right now, living within your means is even more crucial.
