My mom and stepdad were hit pretty hard, but my dad's OK... he's boasting and that bothers me :chikasfrown:

We're not leaving my country for the holidays. I can't buy all the CD's and video games I want now! I hope the credit crunch doesn't affect me when I apply for a job...

I have some serious health issues. So I can't even get a part-time job this summer and for the next semester. It will be a "tight" year for me anyways.

Thank goodness I don't seek any luxurous stuffs unlike my other rich, snobby and spoiled peers. And thank goodness my family is still financially stable right now.

I'm financially stable enough to keep my life comfortable and as it's always been but I have lost money, which is irritating.

I wish there were some option between filthy rich and a little tight, as that`s where we are.

Making more money now than before the crunch - but I wouldn`t consider it "filthy rich" by any stretch.

I don't think I will be able to get a job any time soon which is bad because I need to save up for college. My mom and stepdad can't help me with that, and my dad.... I don't even want to ask him because I know I'll have to pay him back some way or another and I will never be able to afford what he'll give me.
