There's no guarantee that we'll be going into a recession in 2019 but it's very possible and very likely that we will at least by 2020.
With the government shutdown and other things it's very likely that the economy is gonna tank and we'll be into a recession like we did back in 2008.
So yes do be prepared to have the economy see another recession and it may be 5 to 6 years before we get out of the recession again.
