Economy

With all the doom and gloom of the economy and the media talking about the collapse of the euro etc is anybody worried about what this means for them? How have you changed your habits since all the financial crisis? Do you still buy things like you used to? Do you think you waste money? Have you lost your job and is it difficult to find a new one?

I don't have a job and I have looked for a job a lot I have had interviews, but nothing. In my case I only buy things that I really need,I used to buy sweets before but I don't buy that anymore, I used to wash the clothes once a week, now I wash the clothes every two weeks to save electricity,I used to buy water now I boil it. I think every single dollar I spend is weel expend it.

that's awful Rosa, but you're managing incredibly well, do you have further education? what was your last job and were you made redundant? It sounds like you're trying hard. Also, what is the area that you live in like? is it high unemployment?

In our case, I'm stopping school in the mean time to be able to save for the next semester. Financial crisis is really bombarding media today and not only that, its roots runs deeply into our homes where our financial ability to sustain our lifestyles are greatly affected. Great adjustments are made in my family just to sync with the current situation of our country. I hope this will get better one day. I mean, why is this all happening now?

Times are tough and lots of businesses and people are affected by it, i think it's an issue not talked about enough, people should be more open with what they feel and how times are affecting them, thanks for your comments
