Did the recession affect you majourly?

[dbgtz]

Just a random question because as I think about it, I literally had no change in lifestyle because of it. I mean, my dad got made redundant but then started another job 1 week later so it was practically like normal still.

If anything we've spent more money.

[Eoin247]

A little but not much tbh, and i'm living in one of the worst hit countries. It hasn't really affected me much but i know people who have been affected badly.

[Inseriousity.]

My dad's a self-employed painter and trade dried up. It got to the point where we were considering bankruptcy so yeah it was very bad for us . Luckily we've managed to come out of it the other side and we're bringing small luxuries back but not going too crazy (going out once a month rather than once a week for example)

[Caution]

My Dad had to be cut from around 40 hours a week to around 25 but I didn't notice it that much.

[dirrty]

naw, not much if any difference.

[Chris]

Luckily it hasn't, perhaps a few cut backs here and there but nothing major.

[Cheryl]

Not really, however my dad was redundant for ages meaning a short break to france last summer, however know, although being on a slightly lower salary we can afford a holiday more expensive than previous years. other than holidays I've not noticed any other changes.

[Suspective]

Not really at all. Maybe just in a really small way, but nothing which is that noticeable or big.

[Mr-Trainor]

It has affected my family but not majorly.
