What are some good things that you learned from this recession?

Even though we are in a recession there are some good things to learn from it. I think one of the most important thing is proper money management and saving, we live in society that is so materialistic. Now with the recession people are actually using budgets and cutting back. Another good thing about the recession, it pays to be nice to people in general. You never know if someone has the ability to get you a job interview after you have been laid off or help you get back on your feet. Finally, people are realizing how important family is to them. What are your thoughts?

i totally agree with you and luckily i have not been laid off nor has my husband. i have needed two jobs just to make it anyway which is sad but whatever.
i am going to pay off the last bit of credit card debt i have and make sure i have money in the bank in case the worst happens.
i agree and it is going to be refreshing for me not to feel bad if i have to buy a used car and not feel that someone else is better than me because they drive a BMW or Audi. I"m going to think about the BMW drivers and how they can’t afford to pay the mortgage on their vacation home ’cause there’s no more Bush in office and i’m going to say BOO HOO too bad they can’t buy themselves a third car this year or fly to the Bahamas for spring break.

    I think, though recessions can be a scary time to live through, it teaches us the value of money and hard work. Our parents worked doubly hard so their children (us) wouldnt have to work through the same shitty jobs and situations that they did…Its a great selfless act but it also leaves a nation of children who have everything given to them. Downfalls in the economy force the next generation to be educated in economics as well as take on responsibility and jobs that they otherwise wouldn’t.

    Don’t waste money on crap
    learn to save up
    if you can get off your lazy butt and get a job, don’t let just one spouse do all the billings and waking up in the mornings to do all the labor. *ahem*….housewives….
