I know this isn't a modelling topic but it is a 'everyone' topic. Is anyone else worried about this europe debt crisis? For many of us who are self employed or freelance here it is a worry isn't it?

If Europe is broke, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal....possibly even the USA are having trouble what chance is there for us!

Anyone else worried about their finances and ultimately the future at the moment? Just want to see if I am the only one in these troubled timed

Its an extremely scary time, increasing numbers of people are losing their jobs and facing an uncertain future.

Work is becoming more and more scarce and I am starting to consider relocation as a major option.

Hopefully, on a more positive note, as we were probably the first country to adopt austerity measures, we'll be amongst the first to recover. Looking at the way other countries are suffering does bring home what a mess the global economy had got itself into. Life in the UK might not be a box of chocolates at the moment but compared to what some others are going to have to suffer ......

Do you know what I think? If the stupid government stopped wasting our money that we pay in taxes and stuff on expensive unnecessary stupid statues then there would be no crisis.

So most of us are struggling money wise and then there's this site (not-port) that expects us to pay monthly fees by giving you as little space as possible so that you'll be inclined to upgrade in order to put a few more photos on our portfolios when there are better sites that allow you to put up several for free... such a rip off.
Some of us can't afford the damn upgrades even if they are on special offer and crap like that, we have to save as much money as possible in this economic crisis!
