How has the global recession affected your life?

Did you cut back on make-up/aftershave or eat out less at your favourite restuarants? You bought less designer clothes?

Or are you happy with your daily routine and recession is not really a real thing in your life, it is something for other people to worry about?

Do you see effects of the recession while you travel to work or college/uni? While you stop at the drive thru do you see more beggers?

Has your MIL or parents/husband/wife said to you cut back on your spending?

I don't think I've noticed much personally because I never really spent money on extravagant stuff or whatever.
I've always bought stuff that I'd use at some point or another. So ummm yeah, not really.

But I do know of people who had to drastically change their lifestyle and went through some difficult times.

In Pakistan, we have our own local version of global recession that is 100x the global recession and it has affected everyone.
