What have you been doing differently, if anything, since the economy took a nosedive? What have you cut back on that you used to enjoy?  I hope it gets better

I've cut down on my expenditures quite severely. No goin' out to restaurants... no making major purchases... and I've cut down on the utility usage rather substantially.

Since losing my job a year ago, I've had to cut down on everything; food, heating my home, being able to buy what I want. Don't know how much longer I can keep my car or pay my rent and the rest of my bills. |

WE all do what we have to.. My son in law is out of work again. First lost his job about 2ys ago, worked thru a temp agency, got hired ft at a place hew was working, worked about a yr and then layed off with no chance of being called back. My gson just started college, so thanks to my mom, I have been able to help some with that... I think you are going to see families pulling together, living together and helping each other until things get better which isn't going to be for quite a while...

Y'all are going to hate me for this...LOL.. Business is better in the last 3 months than it has been in the last year. I've been putting in 12-15 hour days whereas before, I was getting just 9-11 hrs a day. Keep in mind that I had been working 3 days a week.
As of Monday, I switch from working Fri-Sun to working Mon-Thurs.. YIPPEE!!!!!!!

It's only affected me to the point that I have no life whatsoever.

It's only affected me to the point that I have no life whatsoever. I'm sorry to say that has happened to a lot of people already... I consider myself VERY lucky to have what I do and to have a good pension... |

Business has been booming. The company I work for is off to the best start ever. The next few months look even better.

I haven't really noticed any difference beyond a lot of doom and gloom on the TV

I wonder if curly fries will reduce my carbon footprint while stimulating the economy at the same time.
Anyone have thoughts on this hypothetical? |

Since losing my job a year ago, I've had to cut down on everything; food, heating my home, being able to buy what I want. Don't know how much longer I can keep my car or pay my rent and the rest of my bills. I will say an extra prayer for you, twitch. Being a single mom now, it is unbelievable how much sleep i loose every night worrying about budgets, paying bills, robbing Peter to pay Paul. I wish you the very best. I know it is hard, but hang in there. |

What have you been doing differently, if anything, since the economy took a nosedive? What have you cut back on that you used to enjoy? I haven't cut back a bit. For me, business is up by more than 40% and I'll be hiring a second person soon. My customers, however are suffering a little bit, because podiatry is more of a luxury item, but my own growth pattern is up. Unlike my competitors, who are tanking, I'm not trying to make a profit on the sale of goods, but rather profiting from my customer's success, which is an ideal I've held to for almost 9 years. There is real truth to the prayer of St. Francis. |

I did effect me, but not in a bad way. Still make the same money, actually picking up a second job now, became re-devoted to the Dave Ramsey program, paying back my credit cards like there's no tomorrow... once I'm out of debt, and have my emergency fund, (around September) I'll behaving more fun than anyone else.
