Quote from RedDuke:
It is all about where you live. I live in Brooklyn, and had it not been for media I would not even know about Great recession. Most of tri state area does not really feel it.
I know few people whose consulting income dropped from 250k+ to 130k+, few small business that were selling crap closed, but that is about it. Luxury car buying, vacations, restaurants and so on doing fine.
