How would you prepare for a prolonged economic slowdown?

If the next few decades are nothing like the last, how would you prepare?

There’s been a lot of talk lately about how the global economy might be slowing down long-term - ballooning debt, lower productivity growth, demographic issues, etc.

I’m not here to argue whether or not that’s true. That’s not the point of this post.

But hypothetically, let’s say the next few decades aren’t as good as the past few decades in terms of stock market returns and economic growth.

How would you prepare for that?
What would your portfolio look like? What assets would you allocate to?
Would you change your strategy or stick to what’s worked historically?

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.
