Recession? I live in buffalo. We’ve been there for years. The rest of the country is just slowing down to our pace. It’s nothing new for us. For me, it’s time to SPEND not cut back. ---

I’ve been trying to save money from before the economy shit the bed, so nothing has really changed. I do find myself staying in more often than not though. Beats spending money at a bar/restaurant not to mention gas. ---

> [@jetlounge"](#): > > Times are tough. What will you not spend on, or cut back dramatically over the next several months? If it weren’t for the news I wouldn’t know that there was a credit crisis going on. The rest of the nation is just catching up to our recession. Economically, Buffalo is just ahead of the curve. :lolno: ---
