I'm not all that worried. Just like with Global warming the media and economist are making way to much of it.

This situation isn't even close to some of the economic meltdowns that have occured in the past.

No need to get so worried about it. It wont all be easy but we will make it through.

I'm not sure about it getting worse than the Great Depression. The thing is, back then they didn't have as many means of dealing with it than they do now.

However, if things get really bad, I'm going to the moon.

The thing is that because this is so global now - It will collapse economy after economy in a domino effect. The technology avaible today has made this world a small big apple - We're too affected by each others economies.

Only people not affected are the people living ''primitive life.'' There will be millions upon millions of people affected by this if this truely becomes a global depression.

This is why my family is turning our garden into a huge vegetable patch, and buying chickens.

Yeah I'm worried, many should be. These bail outs are stupid, we are just letting the inevitable drag on. Let the inevitable happen NOW and new businesses will rise from the ashes of these big ones. Thats how it needs to be.

Not worried at all. Our mortgage is 18%, there's no hope of reposession. Big companies are starting to fall left, right and centre (Woolworths, MFI is on its way out, all of the US motor industry, most of the rest of the motor trade), this leaves a lot of opportunities for my generation when we pick up the pieces. I'm already planning on possible future enterprises. It's the best thing that could possibly of happened, crashing at this moment. The only downside is that any potential landlords for my house for second year of my uni course may be reposessed, leaving me stranded half way through. I guess we'll just have to ask about our landlord's situation before renting...

Personally, I'm not worried at all. My family is financially secure. Also, our province is actually BENEFITING in this time, rather than crippling. Saskatchewan's economy is booming... at least, for now it is; I can't say what it will be like in the future.

The real economic collapse is going to come about 5-10 years after the economy recovers and demand for raw materials increases and a re-strengthened China exhausts every conceivable natural resource. THAT's going to be fucked.

So if people ignored the problem it would go away????

Well the bubble only popped because people started making a big deal out of it :P If people were more relaxed about repayments...
