At the risk of sounding like an old fart, the present situation might teach people to save their money, and buy things cash wherever possible. I know houses, and probably cars are an exception, but the amount of money saved is substantial.

We are about in the same boat billy however our son in law was layed off many months ago and can't find much work of any kind. Unemployment about to end and our daughter is dropping hints about not having anywhere to live. Been clearing out the spare bedroom for the grandkids!!

Same here Olddays...I got my youngest son (24) living with me, he got made redundant 6 months ago, and 4 other children out there with partners and children, I have a four bed semi, two bedrooms are ready in case of emergancies. My children know they have somewhere to live, if the worst comes to the worst.

I think everyone is more money aware these days, and thinks twice before spending the big bucks.
Smokes,booze,food, and whatevers left over goes on bills. ;D.
