Tutoring overseas university and college students seems to be fairly recession proof so far.
Spending what I need to (but a lot more carefully & less) on the hobby, especially with the conversion of the cube into sw anemone tank & building (a second time) a new big "tang" tank. It seems like every time I think I'm done spending for a little bit, I find I need more salt or there's some cool coral or another tang for sale. Fortunately, got sooooo much extra equipment lying around that I haven't had to spend alot on that stuff for the new sw tanks. But definitely not spending as freely as I used to on my hobby and have shut down my fw tanks to create the space for more sw. I think if I didn't have a lot of equipment already & had to buy everything, then these new sw setups would have been on hold. I've also noticed a lot more stuff for sale and tanks being shut down or downsized in the last year.
