| there is scientific proof that in our western world the amount of money we have/deal with is much much higher than what we would need to be happy. there is no natural saturation of wealth (as it is for example with a happy mother of 6 children, she'll perhaps find it's "enough" now) so all we want is to get richer and richer, way above the range where it could directly affect our happiness. now it becomes clear that the financial crisis is mostly a psychological one. a banker who loses 3 mio $/€ of his 7 mio $/€ deposit WONT have long term losings in his happiness, only short time panic. the "crisis" really doesnt affect us that much, except for the small percentage of workers whose job is at stake. so there probably is no effect on the partying scene as there is little effect on our daily life, much less effect than the yellow press wants us to believe |

1. Bush wasn't the only reason this is happening.
2. Wait about six more months to see real changes. |

I live in a mountain resort town. Recession combined with bad snow mean tourism is waaay down and and many youths just looking for service jobs have lost their jobs or just can't find work at all. I lost my job and it took me 25 days to find another one which s weird for this town, when last season it seemed like every business could use someone.
When the locals get less hours they don't go out and party.... though the last 2 nights I've been out at packed (small) clubs. Me and my roommate were just hitchhiking home 15 mins ago at 3am when a rad cab driver took us almost all the way home for free just to be a nice guy. I guess locals still find cheap fun on weekdays. |

Little effect on our daily life?
For some maybe, but what for eg Automotive?
Every 1 of 10 jobs in the US is related to that.
500.000 jobs lost in November 2008, 693.000 in December and another 2 million jobs exepted to be lost in 2009.
And then I only talk about US.
If the crisis until now didn't have affect it probably will soon, although maybe not at the partying scene. |

| Restaurants in my area seem to be experiencing a bit of a loss, although chain restaurants remain more popular than ever. Clubs/bars still remain crowded as ever on weekends, especially the ones with low cover charges... guess you can't stop people from going out. |

Its an interesting point.
I would assume that the majority of clubbers are young people with a fairly high disposable income (no houses, cars etc..) Maybe a bit generalistic, but I still think this is a key factor, so therefore I think clubs will still remain healthy..
Personally for me, me and my mates have stopped going out into the big cities, and generally stopped going out and to be honest its been a blessing in disguise, we're now spending much more time doing pro active things such as football and pub lunch on the wkends rather than just getting smashed and feeling all wkend. |

The number being pulled in at events I help with and club nights I attend do not seemed to be affected by the recession at all. |
