So the Toronto Stock Exchange, Canada's main centre of high commerce, is in the shits today. It lost about CDN $90,000,000,000 in value just today (about 500 points lost, in all).
Apparently world markets have gone crazy today too. The US markets were closed due to the Martin Luther King Jr Day commemoration, but they're expected to tumble madly tomorrow morning.
So my question to you guys is this: Is this going to have an impact on how you go about your lives? Are you going to tighten your belts a bit "just in case" the downward trends continue (and I think they will) for a long time?
Me, I'm considering getting a cheaper (though slightly less convenient) apartment once my lease is up. I can afford the one I have now easily, but there are a few luxuries here that I don't need per se.
