  1. Are you worried about your job? I work in sales and marketing... I'm ALWAYS worried about my job. 0% job security. In terms of my company, however, we're doing so, so. Cash reserves are modest, and we've been able to turn a profit the first two Q's of 2008. However since June... the economy has not been so kind. My territory is down 22% from goal and 13% from last year at this time. My wife on the other hand works in consulting. They just lost their largest account directly due to this mess... they represented 10% of the company's project revenue in 2009. They've stopped all company travel below the executive level. She smells a layoff coming. We've both been working for the same compan's over 4 years. Wouldn't it be a bummer if we both got the axe on the same day. Ability to pay rent or mortgage?My mortgage is just fine... as long as we have jobs... our heating oil and electric are not. Our utilities have skyrocketed. Your retirement / 401k? Lost 21% YTD... not worried... I'll be working until I'm 90 anyway. Are you putting off purchases? Yup...In fact I'm selling some to eliminate some debt. Is it altering your income directly from music? Yes and no... we're not seeing things slow down in terms of new clubs contacting us for bookings, but some existing gigs have stopped. But I'm wondering how much longer are bars going to shell out near wedding pay for a bands if this crisis gets much worse. Are you worried about a prolonged recession? Nope. I'm more worried about the gov't making things worse than they are or even need to be. I have issues with both candidates... at at this point.... unless less they truly let the legs kick out from underneath the table... everyone is a socialist.
