How is everyone weathering this economic *****storm? Business as usual? Cutting back? Better than ever? On the edge of financial ruin? A Ledgie wants to know!

I've really been paying attention to everything you mention. this morning they talked about one investment firm dropping like 93% this morning. it's all rather scary. luckily, I'm doing well. I hate my job so the fact that the job market is in the toilet isn't fun, but at least my job is stable and I'm pretty secure. I make good money, have a nice home and a nice car and I'm able to pay my bills. I just paid off my HUGE credit card so that's even better. I still have a few small cards that I really should pay off. like everyone else though, I spend way too much on trips and clothes and crap.
