Collapse this year in 2009 here in America, What are you people doing to prepare? Or are you like most people who have no clue what's going on?

I keep my saving spread about. Sometimes I'll invest in a Blue Chip company like Cadbury's, BP, or Pearson. Most of the time I'll be looking to save on direct debits, reducing my monthly payments, and taking a new bank account out with Alglo-Irish Bank. They're offering 5% bonds for a standard 12 months. Also spreading some money into Abbey Offshore, who are offering 6%-12%.
The Euro is unwelcome even in my country. It's forced inflation up on the island where I used to live by 40% since January 2008.
My reckoning is this April in the UK, income tax will come down. But only this year. Next tax year it'll be up higher again.
It's good that petrol prices have lowered.
