Let me tell you my economy story. I work for a center that sells "vanity" products: weight loss, sexual performance, hair regrowth, etc. I thought just a short while ago--hey, the economy must not be that bad. People are still spending boatloads of money on crap they don't need.

Yesterday, we were told our commissions had to be cut in order to keep the company open and competitive. Money is being lost somewhere, and now I am losing money myself! My base pay is low, all the money I make comes from commissions--and now my company has had to cut my pay in order to do good business.

Whether a depression is coming or not, I don't know. What I do know is that I am glad I have no credit cards, which means no debt for me. I have no house payment, so I don't have to worry about that. My car is second hand and paid off, so I don't have to worry about that. Really, the only bills I have are my rent, electric, food, and insurance for medical and my car. So I should probably try to start socking money away now, just in case the sky does start falling!
