For the most part since we are rather frugal and low spenders (cause we are low earners) this whole stock woe is really not effecting us much, oh sure we do have a retirement fund, but since we have eons before retirement and didn't really knwo what it was before the hassle, we can't miss it.
The one thing that prolly aught to worry me is that my husband works in retail, computers but computers for retail. if the economy starts to really suck, and folks really do stop buying 14 bazziliion pairs of shoes, he might have a job problem.
But then again if you were going to cut jobs I would think the lowest paid guy would be last. And he really is the lowest paid guy.
Retail job safe?

There are a lot of companies that cut higher paid employees than lowest first in order to maximize their costs savings.
