Recession coming should I wait to travel
Everyone knows that the recession is coming. Does anyone think prices of hotels and flights will go down in late 2022 or early 2023? I instead of traveling now, will I get better deals if I wait? Some flights I see right now are pretty expensive.

Travel now, travel later. If Covid has taught me anything its that anything can happen so travel when you can and in a budget you can live with.

Everyone? You are considering speculating on the prices of air travel and hotels. What about FX? What about domestic inflation (wherever your domestic happens to be)? What might be the effect of a 30% drop in asset values on your level of wealth?
Oh, and what about MONKEYPOX?
This intertemporal speculation stuff is complicated.
