How is the recession effecting you?
like the title says.
I'll go first.
#1. Fuel is killing me. in my semi every week i put about 1500 bucks in the tank.
#2. It seems like since things(just stuff like at Target,Meijers,Wal-Mart,etc) is costing more. so either i have just enough to buy it or i buy less.
#3. I don't eat out dinner all that much. I'm on the road 4-5 days a week i eat dinner out maybe 2 times a lot. a lot comes out out a big ass cooler i pack when i leave. because fuel cost has gone up so much i gotta make cuts.(yes i have fuel surcharges to my customers)(but i'm trying to budget)
#4. I'm careful how much i spend. I know it sounds like I didn't care before. but I'd charge it wait for the credit card bill when we(the company that contracts for my semi loads) running like hell(6 sometimes 7 days a week) i knew I had the money due to the overtime.
feel free to comment and put in your 2 cents.

#2. Well when you go up scale you gotta pay.
Wal-mart is for you rich Ohio farmboys. Ill still go with the Big Lots and Farm n Fleet #4. You counting eating out a cooler as eating out?
I making cold cuts for my trips too but ice is going up so the cooler is more like a warmer. seems like Im making more pit stops lately as a result. 
#D. Im pretty sure you dont have to pay all the credit card. my cousin in Alabama learned me on that one. The places I go dont always take Diners Club. wait, you gettin overtime for running those rigs? no wonder you got 2 cents all the time. I like the avatar but the jockeys ruin the sexy for me

Im not sure if I would call this time in US history a recession. I work at Jeep Chrysler and we are struggling to do 70 Cars a month. Yes it is horrible. Buisness is slow but i doubt this is a recession.

Obviously paying more at the pump and probably more for food. It hasn't really changed my spending habits or anything. I suppose I just save a little less than I might otherwise.

The recession is hurting me. Hitmen just cost so much then they used too. Before I could afford to pay someone and they would kill the person and hide their body. Than I could just afford to have them hide the body. Now I have to do all the work myself. Its really annoying.

not really affecting me other than the following..
gas is not too bad, i usually drive my g20 infiniti which gets 27mpg on 87 so i only spend 50 a week on gas. im just driving less to be honest, sitting around my house playing video games instead of going out lol.
food is definately hurting. last year my typical Safeway bills where 30-40 a visit. now they are easily topping 60-70, for the same basic things like milk, bread, cheese, etc.
im not struggling my any means, but i definately am cutting back on luxurious spending right now. no more going to the range to shoot (ammo is 16 a box!)...no more eating out at resturants (i got burned for 60 at a italian joint last week for like 3 plates of pasta)...no more credit card shopping online either.
