I got lucky this time around "so far", our company it's doing better than ever, and I being enjoying all the good deals out there trying to spend as much as possible so I don't contribute to the mess we're in. I really wish you all the best of luck

I keep busy with work. Being a liquor salesman, I do just fine no matter the economy. Thankfully, I don't feel the effects.

My company is still holding together so i havent really felt the turn in my pocket. There isnt anyone here left to lay off but me! So i guess if i get layed off the company goes under.... We went from 20 people down to 3..

Actually one thing we are doing is less toy buying and more investing. Because where fortunes are lost fortunes are made. While I dont do the stock market. I have been investing in my home, investing in other properties. And now I am looking at a nice piece of land in Texas. This is a great time to invest if you are in a position to be blessed to do so.

I've been picking up a classic Mustang here and there. Also planning on buying a duplex but it has to be the right one. We've probably looked at 30+ and made an offer on 1 so far. There's a lot of junk out there... both cars and houses.
Best of luck to everyone. I know plenty of people who have been affected. We have had about 16 layoffs (out of 100+ people) at the office but only 2 from the sales desk and those guys couldn't sell bottled water to a guy lost in the desert. So far so good here.
