Hello tracy1985, I am not really affected by the financial crisis but I took a careful step especially in managing my finances. I hope I can survive during this difficult times. Recently my husband decided to quit job and concentrates on a project handled by him and a friend. We need to tighten our budget because of his decision. Even though the end result is not too soon to be seen, I hope it will bring some profits for all of us.

I think when the generation changes whether from gud financial state to bad or vice versa, the whole family is affected.and most people should have experiencedit too even me. Wealthy people also have problems but they overcome soon but about others they need a couple of years to overcome it. How nice it would have been if there were never any financial crisis in the world but we know thats impossible.

The financial crisis has hit just about everyone. Even the rich who have seen their assets shrink. I have noticed that for me that groceries are more and more expensive. First due to the high cost of fuel and then due to companies changing their products in subtle ways that we may not notice. Making a cereal box more colorful or saying new and improved meaning they put less in the box.

Hello tracy. The financial crisis has affected me a lot. I am spending more money to buy the same stuff I used to buy from the shops because the price of most of the food is higher, much higher than it used to. But recently, it is a good thing that the price for a tank of gas is decreasing. I love it when it is cheaper as it will make our life easier and more enjoyable when the price is getting lower.

Yes. My husband lost a good paying job. We both work seven days a week not just to make ends meet also.

Yes, I have been unemployed for 19 years and make my living solely from my own investments. The stock market crash has reduced my networth by 40 to 50% and the effect on companies is sure to have an effect on my main sourch of income, dividends. Now that Obama has won the election my taxes will surely go up even though my income is way, way below where he says he will raise taxes because my income is all dividends and interest and if you check the fine print of his promises these are always excluded in what he will lower taxes on. Actually, I doubt if he will keep any of his lower tax promises; he isn't known for keeping promises after all.

yes my family are affected to the financial crisis, it started it when my husband have an early retirement because of some misunderstanding in the office and he wants to leave his job to other employees but we never realize it will affect our financial needs at home and to my students for i and my husband really try to find a way to start a new business but it is not easy to build it and maintain the income to sustain the necessity.Any thing that will come out top our mind to get daily income is what we do today for i have two college students and one i grade school and also one baby. It is important to work harder.
