Ok so the Credit Crunch will throw the financial sector into turmoil for the next few years but lets look at some positives that have come out of this.
I’ll start things of:
2) House prices have gone down – this is fine even for home owners like me. I may have to sell low but I also can buy low too, only there will be more first time buyers on the market, good news for the housing market.
3) Petrol Prices – I’m now paying 25p a litre less than I was 2 months ago.
4) Gas & Electric – going down hopefully soon.
Ignore the negatives for now, what good has this Global Credit Crunch thrown your way?
Budgeting for Christmas
Retailers will be hard hit this year thanks to the Credit Crunch as consumers, you and I, tighten our purses in the lead up to the big man’s big day. I myself have set strict budgets this Christmas so I now how much I’m willing to spend and who’ll get what.

It’s probably a good thing – the credit crunch has made me think twice about extravagant spending – things like getting a new car or going shopping just because its pay day. It means i’ll be budgeting more carefully around xmas so hopefully won’t go too far into the red!
