Are you affected by the current economic meltdown???

Just wondering. I mean every day the news is so dire you would think that the next thing will be riots in the streets!

Right now my wife and I don't see any difference. She still has a good job, I am still gainfully unemployed because I am self employed which can be sort of the same thing. We have enough funds for some vacations and things and we are still buying the same kind of groceries. We were actually worse off 2 years ago with a bunch of out of control credit cards that we finally just settled on and got out from under it.

Has it affected you or is it all hype?
