What are you doing differently due to the "economic crisis"?
noodle: i took a relocation package that i would have probably not taken otherwise.i'm also working on developing my resume/portfolio and finding some smaller freelance type jobs on the side to help pad my emergency fund.edit:  i suppose i should include some 'good' things i've done  --i made some very smart investment choices and haven't lost much in the stock market.6 months ago i downsized everything, moved back in with my parents on a temporary basis, and started saving up a lot more money to try and brace for impact.consequently, i'm about to buy a very nice place in a very cool area for a very low price.
