Are you affected by global crisis? Do you spend less then? It seems like everyone tighten their expenses after global criris,whether they are directly affected or not. Maybe they are frighten that the economic will become worst. So they rather save what they earn then spend it. I myself also not so optimist regarding the economic situation now. So I only spend just when is really needed. What do you think about it? Do you also spend less now?

No, I don't! Just because in my country there is a crisis from about 15 years and we are already accustomed to it. It makes almost no difference between the time before the crisis and now! That's why I and many other people don't spend less now, because we are in financial crisis.

In the past year in a half I spend only what I really need. Once in a blue moon I will spend a little on something I want but its very rare. Things are hard and without outside employment its very scary to spend money these days. I pay the bills and buy food. I have even now given up my cell phone to get a landline which will save me 15 dollars a month. Now I'm looking for something cheaper then Direct TV. I need to lower my bills and I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I don't need to put the heat on.

Infact Yes, definitely because we had no choice. Our remittance from Our father who's working abroad cut off because they were affected by the crisis.
so in effect we too had to tighten more our budget and look for more ways to earn.
