We don't eat out. We have one car. Right now, we don't even go grocery shopping (at all!) It's nice to be able to talk to others who have had serious income reductions about making what we have work for us.

I'm probably in the minority by saying I think Wall Street needs a serious downsizing in the compensation area, but it would be really nice to see a consistent uptick in finance sector employment (or any other sector for that matter). Let's just hope next time it's not a boom and bust scenario like it's been for the last few years. I’ve seen some of the numbers, but I’m curious if the Pay Czar will step in and do some damage.

And now, just like that, we are back to the raging good times of old. Have you seen Wall St. bonus figures? They're back to 2007 highs in terms of revenues, with 15% less people to pay. In other words, big bucks are back! Should be a job market frenzy in 2010. Great post Matt! And now, just like that, we are back to the raging good times of old.

I just paid some worthless piece of crap $25.00 to cut my grass instead of the usual $150.00. I told the maid & she offerd to cut the grass for $20.00 to make up a portion of her decrease in salery due to these tuff times. My neighbor lost his home after defaulting on his mortgauge payments,so I bought that place for 40,000 less than what he paid, and now I'm renting it to him for $30.00 less per month then what his mortgauge payment was. This is GREAT !!! I feel like I died and gone to heaven. Is anybody else having as much fun with this recession as I am?

I would imagine most people would welcome stagnant or lower real estate taxes -- except state governments, so that's an excellent addition to the list. Did your county/city do this automatically or did you have to file some paperwork?
