How global crisis affected your life?

So far the global crisis has not affected much of my life. In fact I do not feel being in a worse condition. This is not to say that my country is not affected at all. There have been down times and lay offs in certain sectors of the manufacturing industry. Nevertheless since Malaysia's economy does not rely solely on the manufacturing industry its economics fundamentals are said to be still sound. Those laid off have the option of getting employment in other sectors. all the best, rosdimy

I'm from Trinidad. It's a land of oil so we have a lot of money. It's just that we depend on America for some stuff. So whatever happens to America affects us as well but not much. Probably some technology and cloths because we don't really like to buy local clothes. People usually go for big brands like Adidas and Jordan you know stuff like that. So we will lose jobs but our agriculture sector would still thrive.

I have to admit it affected me greatly. I just graduated this year as a postgraduate, and now it is time to look for a job. Then, the global economic crisis came. As a result, there are fewer positions this year than previous year. And until now, I'm still unemployed. It is reported that nearly a million college students will fail to find a job this year. This is terrible. I wish the crisis will be over soon.

i heard that in my hometown there were many companies most of which are export oriented enterprises going bankrupt in the last three months and those which fortunately still survive also could not be immune to the crisis and suffer from flagging market.but for me as a college student, global crisis seems kind of being far from my life and everythings are still in the normal orbit. merry chrismas and happy mylotting.

im in taiwan and and the global are really much affected in our country especially where mostly in electronics industry. there are so many companies shut down and a lot of people lay off from their jobs including me, even though its just a temporary. good thing my husband has a good standing. we ahvent able to finish our house because of this and we were hoping that this wont get that far.

I go on my daily life as i have already no money at all so i didnt lose anything =)

Fortunately the global crisis doesn't have a big effect on my life, but I watch some negative news from TV everywhere. Therefore, I start to consider my purchase. I have tried to purchase less and spend less for the restaurants cost. I think sometimes it's strange. Here the restaurants are still quite busy and crowded all the time. I doubt whether the people are not afraid of the global crisis. I love China

Dear friend, In my place in Southern India most of outsourcing agencies or the BPOs has been effected much and also other areas. The prices of certain commodities too has variations. For some reasons it do have a direct impact on our financial expenses. It also depends upon the value of rupee to dollar in international market. But some companies has forced workers to either resign or dismiss. But later due to government interference they were taken back. There was bit of imbalance in financial most during global crisis in place.

So far I have not been afected personaly by the global crisis. Yes our superanuation has gone down a bit (not that I had much money in it) but as I am only 28 and dont plan to retire any time soon I belive that in the next 35 years it would be made up what I lost same as my husband. My husband is the only one working and he works in a nursing home (its not like its goint to close any time soon) he also gets regular pay rise there so what has gone up in prices is covered by his pay rise and other benefits. Interest has gone down so when our 3 year contract fix interest is due to renew in 3 months time it would go even more down so I am happy so far. And because I am pregnant and cant go out a lot expecialy shoping we save hips of money :))))

i am going to graduate in the next year. and now i am trying to find a job.there are many company , but they all just hire little people .

im not in america but the news says that it is suffering its worst econimonic setback now,,,recession is all over...but here in asia things arent too bright too...even if we shouldnt care about american econmy much..we cant help but express that asia is affected by it....globally there is a very dismal economic picture....thats why like those who have been directly hit by it like those who have been laid off or have lost their jobs in one way or another...i also personally feel the crisis...usiness is generally in a bad mood..im affected financially and really have to be careful with all my expenses..it seems that money is so hard to earn...even my friends in europe are all complaining...thats why we should brace for the worsening crisis....

hi again Caesarin, The crisis has sure affected us indirectly, if not directly! All payments are coming late..... Many clients not paying and so on......
