Pretty normal for a recession, spend your money on food and energy. Not much left over to buy the things we enjoy, such as music and music/audio gear.
I've been enjoying retirement catching up on the audio gear and fixing up my old turnip truck. Forget all the tree huggers, I'm putting a 1995 5.7L LT-1 engine into a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup.

I know somebody, UK citizen, lives here mostly.
He says 2023, not 2024, for UK recession.
He is a CA, with UK license (CPA for those in other countries).
Grim forecast.

The brakes have been applied, HARD.
If somebody wanted to stop consumption in its tracks, raw materials demand, energy demand, pollution, population growth,etc. , he´s hit the nail in the head.
Even unstoppable mighty China is slowing down, no growth potential when market/demand plummets, as if shot down in flames.
Youth unemployment in China is over 20% and across the board in the low teens.
There isn’t a country anywhere not going through some kind of pain. Lots of contributing factors.
Buckle up - the nex few years will be a bumpy ride.

Don't worry, the USA is in deep trouble also.
2027, if they make it till then.
Japan and South Korea are also flat to down.
The dollar is bolstered as the petro-dollar, the currency for most trade, so banks must keep dollars in their accounts.
If the preferred currency for international trade changes, think about it.
As it is, the military interventions abroad have seen a lot of money spent, which in hindsight does not seem a wise decision by the rulers in Washington.
Apologies to the moderators, please take action if you feel it is needed.

Sometimes one would wish the world to be as large as it once used to be.
Je suis d'accord, Jean-Paul. I was hoping to travel in my retired years, but it seems the furthest I go these days is to the closest main town for shopping once every three months. The upside is that used manufacturing equipment has hit rock bottom, so my recently purchased 100W laser cutting machine should keep me amused. It cost AU$800.00 but shipping from Sydney pushed this to AU$2400.00 due to its size.
