Have you noticed...

all the discussion, news reports and other chatter about the psychological impacts of this economy?? I don't remember seeing this interest in how people 'feel' in prior downturns. However, prior downturns weren't as broadbased and as severe.

It makes me think of the difference between a recession and a depression: A recession happens when other people have lost their job, a depression happens when you lose yours.

We've posted a couple of ideas of how to weather the psychological impacts. I still believe the best are to quit watching the news and the 'experts' and rely on what you see. The rest of the best are to exercise, adopt an attitude of gratitude, and be generous even when you don't think you can afford to be.
