Recession Core, But Make It Personal: How to Thrive Without the “Cost of Comfort”

Recession Core, But Make It Personal: How to Thrive Without the “Cost of Comfort”

Is a recession coming? Maybe. But here’s the truth: the only recession that really matters is the one happening in your household.

In this candid, practical conversation, Shari Rash and financial coach Dylan Snowden reframe “Recession Core” from a fashion trend into a living, breathing money protocol.

You’ll learn how to strip out the hidden “cost of comfort,” build sustainable habits you won’t abandon by February, and prepare for income dips without living like a monk.

You’ll hear:

  • Why “personal recession” planning beats doom-scrolling economic headlines
  • The “cost of comfort” leaks (parking, water bottles, drinks out) that quietly drain your budget
  • Borrow > buy: tool libraries, Buy Nothing groups, and building community while saving cash
  • DIY vs. pay the pro: when expertise is cheaper than mistakes
  • A simple weekly “say no” rep to build your money boundaries
