America's Financial Meltdown: How has it affected your life?

I've seen a lot of changes, starting about in October.

I recently have had trouble with my car (a 90 Toyota Camry) and had to scrap it. When I went to go find out how much money I could get to even start looking at cars with, I found...well, not many places with give a 19 year old (even with a steady loyal job, etc) a car loan. Now I'm stuck with the bus.

Where I work...I'd say we are a luxury store. It's an organic food co-op, a lot of which is pretty expensive and such. We've obviously dropped in sales, and because of it we have been cutting back hours. I think my last paycheck had about 56 hours on it (out of the full time 80). I know we even had the first Thanksgiving where we actually made less than the previous year at the store.
Also me being a supervisor and a pretty good worker, I'm not that worried about my job. There probably will not be a time where the Co-op ls laying off people. Ever.

Considering I'm only a 19 year old who is a fulltime worker, lives with her boyfriend, etc...there isn't much for me to worry about right now. I only have 400 dollars in my savings account at the moment, no stocks, and don't plan on going to college.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
