I sleep on the couch in my office. It's a little bit of a pain having to go to the lockers in the next building to shower but the monthly exercise is good for me.

My job is secure. I'm making exactly as much as I was before. However, I've been able to refinance my mortgage to a much lower interest rate.

Also, the prices of food, gas and many other things I buy are going down.

This downturn has been awesome for me and my family so far. I have more money to spend and it's going a lot further than it was just a short while ago.
