TikTok's finance influencers are selling the idea that you can become a 'recession millionaire' if the market tanks

• Some TikTok finance influencers say an economic downturn could lead to stock-market weakness, which would create opportunities for bargain-seeking investors.
• They say opportunistically buying stocks on the dip is a key first step towards minting "recession millionaires."
• They recommend investors use a "dollar cost average" approach and advise against trying to time the market.

A market downturn could be bad news for your job security, but if you play your cards right, it might give you a chance to get rich someday.
