Id meet friends and they would joyfully talk about how many investment properties they had or were thinking of buying,
I used to start looking forward to the annual raise from around October onwards, now I await another pay cut
Sales, special offers, better customer service...

+1.even in a recession it amazes me how many individuals and companies forget these simple things..
I don't miss the traffic or people who just answered the phone who thought they were salespeople or being laughed at when I told people that they should sell their properties (from mid 2007 onwards) or being overcharged for everything or not being able to get a plumber or painter or electrician or being fleeced by solicitors.
I also don't miss being told that I was mad being involved in an export focused manufacturing business because financial services were the future and I should be earning more for the work I was doing etc. We've never been busier and I haven’t taken any pay cuts.

This recession is great!
We have the opposite problem; more work than we can handle.Now, yeah, there may be less coming in but more quality time, more time for clients and to do those little extras for them you didn't have time for before and it's more appreciated too.
I miss the days when askaboutmoney was for rich people. Now we have people on social welfare and people with money problems. So depressing!!

you must be running one of the sub-contract social welfare offices then !
I miss heading off on a Saturday to go shopping, overspending on clothes then coming home and being brought out for the night to show them off!
I miss the days when parents would keep their bloody children quiet in public places. Now children rule the world.
"And what would you like, Tamsin?" Never mind what she'd like, put the food in front of the brat and tell her to eat it. That's what my parents did and that's what we do. Works a treat and saves time and money.
