We feel the same way here at Chiot's Run. We have built up a sizeable emergency fund (which also never feels like enough), we don't have much debt (mortgage), we've spent the last few years trying to drive less, eat out less, travel less, grow some of our own food and spend less on everything and paying extra on the mortgage (it'll be gone in 2-3 years-8-9 years total). We do own our own business so we're trying to make time for every project that comes along to keep the income streams flowing as fully as we can. We are pretty diversified so we should be able to weather if any of them dries up. I work at a non-profit so it should be interesting to see how that works out, people tend to give less in times like these, but I think my job is pretty secure, although a raise will probably not be coming next year. All-in-all I'm not too worried, we've been resposible and have built up a strong finaicial foundation. Unfortunetly we know alot of others who haven't (a few friends & family members) and it will be tough for them I'm sure. Great post. We feel the same way here at Chiot’s Run.
