Recession Survival Guide Released by Dolans.com

Dolans.com offers serious "act now" advice for weathering the stormy times ahead.

WASHINGTON (December 18, 2007) – Don't be lulled into a wait-and-see attitude by pundits debating the finer points of recession, warn personal finance experts Ken and Daria Dolan. The majority of Americans polled now believe we're in our first recession since 2001.

The recession is already here and the time for action is now.

In their Recession Survival Guide at Dolans.com, the popular personal finance experts take a hard look at the Fed's recent panic rate cuts together with the severe housing downturn, reduced consumer spending, questionable employment numbers, rising oil prices, and stock market jitters worldwide. Their conclusion is inescapable: many parts of the country are already neckdeep in a recession and there will be a recognized national recession within the next year.

"We're in for a rocky ride and the latest Fed rate slashes aren't going to prevent it," says Daria Dolan. "In fact, the Fed's aggressive actions may be setting us on course for the worst recession in decades. So it's important for everyone to take action now, to protect their financial well-being no matter what happens in the months and even years ahead."

Their recommendations include:

Adds Ken Dolan, "We've been through this before. It's no time to lose your head, but it's no time to lose your shirt either. Our continuing reports give Dolans.com members the truth about the economy, without the sugar-coating they get from Wall Street and Washington. It may not be pretty, but we will help them get through this developing recession without a scratch."

Further, Ken adds, "The recently signed economic stimulus package, including millions of rebate checks, is a band-aid for an economy that needs major surgery."
