Is it affecting your daily life? IF it is, then what measures you have taken to minimise it's impact on you and people around you?
Please share your experiences.

It has really affected my life. I am much calmer when I talk to my boss. He is more of a joker than a boss. I laugh at his jokes and dont miss a chance to network both within and outside the company.
I have cut down on unnecessary spending and looking at avenues to save more. I have drawn out a plan to save atleast 50% of my sal. No malls  no boozing in bars. Bring the drink home.
BTW I live in India.. Thought would add an Indian perspective...

You certainly speak my mind :bigups: the moment one steps outa the house, the wallat starts speaking, get me out get me out lol, but its not to be. Do wats needs doing then back to your crib, no more no less. eat what you need to survive, wear what covers you and keeps you safe for the cold or warmth, no need to buy 20 suits when you can survive with 5 6 etc. no need to go out and spend the evenings at take awys and resturants when you know you can cook at home unless your a terrible cook that even your cat wont eat what you cook, then order something which isnt too pricy etc etc.
people who are being affected should work out a survival plan in order for then to get along, if people have family then its more essential that you need to save rather than spend, cos if ther hav been good days , now bad days, and how do u know that there could be worser days to follow, so its always best to draw up a strategy plan, on your own you may survive but with a family its difficult.
Good Luck you'll

yes it is affecting me and my business largely ... its just getting deeper and deeper while we keep hoping that inshallah the markets will begin to stabilize a bit more ...
Recently i have had to let go a few of my consultants and i feel aweful but thats the way the market is right now ..
What have I done to minimize the affects of it , well , personally , I am on a saving spree , I think a few times before making any major decisions ..
Personally I am having to work longer hours to secure business and having to make double the effort to ensure the deals go through... hence I am trying hard to manage stress so as not to lose work life balance ...
I am looking at alternative skill enhancement options ... incase my field goes dry , I need to be able to pick up from somewhere ...
Thats definitely not enough but I am keeping the hope that inshallah the market will pick up in the next few months ... some economies are showing signs of recovery , though America is the leader and unless it starts showing positive signs we wont have much to look forward to ...
People Look For The Perfect Person To Love But They Fail To Realize That A Person Becomes Perfect When We Begin To Love Them Sincerely..

There are sales everywhere so I shop more
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
