curious how the economy has effected income

What is your yearly income? I know we did this a while ago when talking about the difference in cost of living but with the economy the way it is, I am curious how things have dropped.
I am not wanting to know what you personally make so just choose the bracket in the poll that is closest to your situation. BTW household income.

perhaps a better question would be whether your household income has gone up or down over the last year+.

Great thought!!!! That would really give the answer to what I am getting at. I will say that our household income has went up and I thank God for it.

Ours is down about $10,000 this year since losing my job last year. Unemployment is still above 18% here in our metro area, so jobs aren't there. We have the 3rd highest rate in the nation, for metro areas. Both of the counties (the metro area spans the county line) are in the top 5 in the nation, as well.

But, GOD IS OUR PROVIDER!!!

The rent keeps getting paid and we keep having food to eat.

Almost all of last years I was working 12hrs days 7 days a week. Compared
to this years 8hrs days 4-5 days a week.

I say I'm down

Not really any effect. My yearly bonus was smaller last January, I think that's mostly because my boss is a jerk.
