You might have your job this week, but not the next. It's more important now to save, and in order to do that you have to control your spending.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534052.post-37779848548427838562008-10-29T09:45:00.000-04:002008-10-29T09:45:00.000-04:00Thanks, Tiffany!Anon, Oh ... it's likely going to ...Thanks, Tiffany!<BR/><BR/>Anon, Oh ... it's likely going to affect me soon ... http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=132032<BR/><BR/>Bummer.KJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621335556439037305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534052.post-75426995949312664792008-10-28T23:17:00.000-04:002008-10-28T23:17:00.000-04:00Thanks for replying.

I have to agree, though, there's nothing more irritating than having to split the bill when you ordered far less than everyone else!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534052.post-20248409059123719172008-10-28T22:12:00.000-04:002008-10-28T22:12:00.000-04:00great answer BYN!great answer BYN!tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11611819552416926715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534052.post-71556333473778658412008-10-28T13:44:00.000-04:002008-10-28T13:44:00.000-04:00Anonymous,Yes, I am invested in the market.

However, I am young enough to ride the faltering economy out - assuming that the market will eventually correct itself - so I am not anxiously watching my 401(k), my IRAs and other investments.<BR/><BR/>However, as the market's decline is beginning to indirectly affect many other industries, I am trying to be more "budget conscious" and avoid the frivolous spending. And overall, continue to avoid consumer debt.KJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621335556439037305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534052.post-74641654381495390832008-10-28T11:49:00.000-04:002008-10-28T11:49:00.000-04:00Had you invested in the market?

When I was upstate, $80 might have lasted me three weekends. Ridiculous. At least I'm living comfortable.The Brooklyn Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948928776452062001noreply@blogger.com
