Maybe it's only affecting stupid people ?

You know me, don't you? I consider myself affected by this downturn in the economy, by this by the simple fact that my house is still not sold and that I notice that my bills are going up (groceries, car related...).

Maybe all the people you know are blind and/or mute.

Well done !

You are the first person that I know who has been or is willing to admit that they have been affected by this credit crunch malarky.

Your prize if you wish to claim it is a free breakfast at the next Loomies meet.

People who I know/work with are neither blind or mute, just that most of them earn in excess of 80k a year.

Right I'm off to do a Carper and sit around watching my hoover, hard life isn't it ?
