Mortgage and debt free helps and have gotten two raised in the past 2 months - and bought myself a new-to-me pickup truck 2004. My garden keeps the grocery bill under budget, and my vacation air travel cost about 2/3's of the usual cost. My investments were very conservative and were barely touched in value. However, I do see it affecting my grown children. Son who works at a log mill has been laid off about 2 weeks out of every month for the past 4 months. Daughter who is a bartender has reported less hours and less tips, which leaves her more time for college and studying for her nursing degree - a mixed blessing of time instead of money. Farmer son just saw milk payouts to farmers drop 30% - that's one heck of a big cut! Personally, the recession is not affecting me.

Can they print bills off fast enough to solve the situation. I think there is nothing that can solve this problem in the short term.
