Well now that you fully understand that the recession is over, now what do you do? Well, unlike those of you who hated the recession because you had no job, I had a particular job speaking about the recession. So guess what? Recession is over and I must move on. Yes tomorrow will be my, as well as the others, last post. On the bright side, we have learned so much from the recession and it is time to dust ourselves off, take a nice shower (now that you can afford hot water) and move on with our lives. We have learned some great lessons that we can take with us for the future of mankind to build a greater society and a greater world…. or at least buy those expensive pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing for four months. Articlesbase.com has an article giving some lessons and tips on what to do from now on, so when I leave you, you will still be able to survive.

Don’t Scream “Charge It!â€- Just because the recession is over don’t go bringing out your credit cards from your top drawer and go on a shopping spree. Keep those cards hidden and continue to pay off debt that you still have. Interest is a killer.

Saving Lesson Learned-Think of how many Canadians would have been able to fend off the recession better if they had some savings. Now is your chance! Start to save, and I’m not talking about saving for your 3 month anniversary, I’m talking about saving for the day those aliens come from space and blow the hell out of your neighborhood.

Why Pay Full Price?- During the recession I’m sure you were constantly looking for deals or bundle savings. Why stop now that the recession is over, keep looking for them, it’s only going to be more money in your pocket.

Don’t Over Indulge- Don’t go back to your $5 triple strong, French mint chocolate latte with whipped cream ( can you tell I don’t drink coffee) just because you can. Stick with that homemade pot from home!

Seek a Private Lender- Banks are being hesitant on loans still because they too have learned from this recession. If you can borrow money (if you need to) from a private lender or even another source, don’t be afraid to utilize them.

“If there’s anything to be learned from the former recession, it’s that saving your money really does matter. Also, keep in mind that an economist’s recession ending reasoning is one thing, while the Canadian reality is quite another.â€

So take this to heart and remember to save your money. I hope that everyone is so happy that the recession is over and hopefully available jobs will be increasing. Because as your leaving the unemployment line for the last time, because of the recession ending, I will be walking right in.

Just kidding, but seriously.
