This is it, the recession is in full swing, the economy is sinking, the job market is sagging, and stocks are suffering. Almost everyone right now knows at least one person that has lost their job or a large piece of their retirement plan. Right now, the worst thing you can do is give up. What you want to do is to change your mindset, not worry about the problem and concentrate on the answer. The answer is simple: be creative and think of new ways to make money.

You can sit together with the neighbors and whine your evenings away, or barbeque hamburgers and moan about not being able to have steaks. You will be a victim” of this recession only if you choose to lay down and be one. You can either sit back or squeeze through or you can take an active role and learn ways to take advantage of the “new” economy.

Again, it is very crucial not to take a “victim” or passive position. If you want to get through this gracefully, you must become “solution oriented”.

Here is what the vast majority of Americans think when it comes to a money making plan: Go to college Land a good job Let your employer take care of retirement and health insurance for you and your family If things go bad you can always get on unemployment Find a better job when the economy improves

You are probably a career minded individual and want to stay at the company you work for, for many years. But then comes a recession and the company you work for has to lay you off. It seems the company was not on board with your “stay for many years” game plan.

Most companies are adapting and changing to the new economic environment by laying workers off. This is what you need to do, adapt. If you just jump on unemployment and plan on staying there until you can find just any old job, you will end up being miserable with life.

What you want to do is to create multiple streams of income. The most successful households are the ones that have multiple streams of income coming in. For example, one stream of income might be from the stock market, another might be from your day job, and still another from your home business. If one of your income streams dry up, you still have two other that you can rely on.

You should not depend just on one income even if that one source of income is your day job. You need to develop different sources of income. Even if they are small at first, that is ok. The important part is that money is coming in from more than one source. Instead of watching TV in the evenings or on the weekends, you can spend that time developing another income stream.

With a little bit of imagination and thinking what you are good at or could become good at, I am sure profitable ideas will begin to come to you.

If you can spend a little less, create new income streams to bring in a bit more money, and put on a problem solving attitude, you will be a source of inspiration for family members and friends in this recession.

I hope you can get the most out of these surviving this recession tips. A big revenue stream, if you own a house and have not been able to sell it, is to rent it out to someone.
