My cousin and I were trying to figure out ways to escape/reduce the problem of recession. Every person I have been talking to have worries over recession and especially those in IT related services.
They are a worried lot, with huge housing loans over their heads, with their net worth in the marriage market falling. These computer professionals are seeing an uncertain future.
But I think there are 5 ways you can actually benefit from a recession! Presenting TheAnand’s 5 ways to benefit from a recession.
1. Save Money – Is your wife nagging you for a new set of jewellery she saw on the mall last week? You for the first time in this century have a one word answer to her nagging! RECESSION!
2. Sound Intelligent – Now you can answer every question you do not understand with this magical powerful word that no one understands!
- Why are our sales figures falling? Recession.
- Why is our coffee maker is not working? Recession!
- Dad, can I get a new G.I.Joe figure for Christmas? No, its Recession!
- Why did you wake up late today? Mom! Its recession!
3. Make Money! – Take all the credit cards and loans you want from weak banks and financial institutions. They will possibly not survive the recession. You get free money 
Did I tell you to get a Ford/GM car using their own financial plans. Great!
4. Fire ‘em! – Its a great time to get rid of that hunk team member who was hitting on the office hottie you had your eyes on 
Brownie points for discovering the excuse for firing him.
5. It can’t write more…its Recession! DUH! (Hint: Tell this to your friends when you have not been blogging for a while)
