I had lunch with some old coworkers last week and it became apparent, that I live in a bubble. Of course, I still see the news, but I don’t have the day-to-day discussions with people about how the economy is impacting individuals.
I’m aware of job cuts, the stock market hitting 12 year lows [1], and the tanking housing market.
But what I really want to know, is what worries you the most? I’d like to hear about your personal financial worries. And beyond your finances, how is it impacting you emotionally?
