Did the recession affect you majourly?

[kasi]

i havent changed anything tbh

[Charlottay!]

ive noticed it but i do alot with finances and have to create a student union budget and spending regime. Lots of places are closing down in my city, lots of leisure facilities so its really noticeable

[Catzsy]

Well the cost of food is really going up all the time and I suspect that with inflation rising as it is and the VAT rises it is going to really cut into the family budget in months to come.

[,elaboratedolls]

It hasn't affected my family drastically, but it's still affected us slightly. Not very much though.

[-Eyeless-]

Yes it affected me majorly. Though I won't go into detail about my financials affairs

[-ry!]

We've cut back loads, we're not going on family holidays no more, my mums buying less food shopping. So yeh we have been affected.

[velvet]

nah not at all
both my parents are self employed in high end trades so their clients aren't really affected either

[AgnesIO]

No, not at all.

Haven't noticed any changes - still go on holidays, still buy things - guess I am lucky.

[Alexx..]

Nah, I haven't been affected, my mums a carer so her job hasn't been affected and my dad does something with asbestos so his work is still there.

[Matthew]

hasn't affected us at all. We still buy/do the same things that we did before the recession, but obviously it does cost a bit more now
