trust me m8 im in the worst hit sector there is, the building game, at the end of the day theres nothing any single person can do to protect there job, ur just a number dont let yaself think otherwise coz ur just kidding yaself.....all ya can do is get on with things the best ya can and hope the storm passes without too much trouble, i know theres a few peeps on ere who are finding it hard and i feel for em but theres no point worrying about it, whats gona happen is gona happen wether ya like it or not....my advice.........get on with life and if the worst happens deal with it then and like as already been said... spend less than ur earning and ya cant go far wrong, im in a good postion personally (apart from being in the building game) im tighter than a submarine door and so ive never spent more than i had to and so i have a fair bit in the bank and i owe no 1 anything aprat from the mortgage of which i still have around 20k equity

Yea tell me about it!

Construction industry sucks atm. I got made redundant from my apprentership in architecture late last year... Oh well!
