    I really don't think it affects my spending that much, TO be honest, not having a job affects my spending alot more.:biggthumpup:

    Not really affecting me that much, but I think I've probably spent more than normal because of all the sales

    This is so depressing! I used to spend very freely while I was in college with loans and also my well paying part time job. I regret all the stuff I stupidly spent money on. Now that I've been unemployed for three months (I had to resign from my student assistant position coz I graduated), I am being very careful about my material purchases. Food and eating out is a different story... =T

    How long do you think this recession will last? I'm horrible at economics and all of that. Is there an end in sight???

    ^no sign of ending lol but usually this recession is pretty much the economy free falling for the past few months now. as for when it'll hit the peak and slowly get better, thats always a mystery. however; it is usually the case when a new president takes over, the economy is pretty shitty (clinton for example) so probably obama will have 1 yr to deal with the shitty economy, this is where we won't see much changes, and assuming the house and all that does their shit correctly, it might be less then 2 years until the recession ends
