Recession Comes With the Territory

Is it just me or is the recession boogie man overrated?

Recessions, as I understand them, are where the economy shrinks for 6 months. People shop less. And they only measure negative economic events like this backwards, after factoring in all the positives they can possibly find to make things look better…

Here's a recession hint: Go play with all the stuff you ALREADY own.
