Has the economy affected you?

[JamesKurtovich]

I have to be honest, the news that DOW-or whatever dropped in stocks and the announcements flying all over the place that the economy was taking a downward spiral surprised me, and I still haven't felt the effects of the recession. Probably because I live in Alaska and work for the government.. but I was curious to see how other people have been affected by the recession. I was reading an article about Circuit City closing and was surprised. They've been in business for a while, and other place, Shane Co., where I bought my fiance's ring, is filing Chapter 11 as well. So I think it's serious business.

So how has it been for you.
