Question of the week: Given the national economic situation, are you more worried about your finances
than in previous years?
With the way
the economy is
going, its dragging
me under.
It’s happening to
everybody. Now
e v e r y t h i n g ’ s
gone up way too
much.”
— Brian Musarelli,
machinist, Bainbridge
“I’m actually not, because I
have a very secure job that pays
good money. I feel like that this
is the best-paying
job in all of
the years I’ve
worked. I’m not
worried about it
at all.”
— Amy Beers,
retail sales consultant,
Laurens.
“Yes. I guess
so, because you
are worried
about the stock
market, and
businesses going
out of business.
You worry about
these things.
Especially like
me, I work for small contractors.
Business is OK now, but
if people aren’t going to be
able to pay for renovations and
things like that, I’ll be out of a
job too.”
— Christopher Clark, construction
management, Delhi
“Definitely, yes, because I
was planning
on retiring this
year. But now
I’m going to have
to work longer
because of my finances.
I’m hoping
for it to get
better.”
— Wayne Hubbell,
set-up operator, Oxford
“I’m really
not because of
the situation
with gas. All of
the things you
think about from
day to day like
gas and things
like that are
lower now than
I’ve seen in years. That was a
big thing for me in the summer,
$4.25 a gallon and I commute 60
miles each way to work. Seeing
$1.60 is quite inviting to me so
that actually helps. I don’t feel
any tension. And where I work
isn’t in jeopardy.”
— Liz Revald, store manager,
Utica
“Yes. I definitely
have taken
time to save
and pay attention
to the needs
instead of the
wants.’’
— Carol Arnold,
senior programming
analyst, Oneonta
