How Are Today's Markets Affecting Your Lifestyle?
Just curious "if" and how the current economic climates that are affecting the stock markets and more, might be affecting one's travels/FT lifestyle?

Wow, been trying to post reply since yesterday but wouldn't let me, hope this one goes through. Great to see such a wonderful amount of replies, and looking forward to more.
So in general the cost of fuel seems to be a huge positive for many, or others are not affected by having fixed income and seeing no difference or not affected in their structure for the most part. Would love to see some more Canadians comments, but interesting Macktee how you are handling the exchange rate to your negative being south right now. It is what it is for sure, and I well recall when it was $1.65 to the US$1 so we have always budgeted based on a $1.3 to $1 exchange rate personally.
Thanks for the interest and responses thus far, looking forward to hopefully reading many others take on how their travels/lifestyle may or may not have been affected somewhat.
For sure it's a great time for our southern cousins to head north of the border on current exchange rates. Our fuel might not be quite as cheap as yours generally but for sure it's the best we've seen for many many years. Come on up the ice fishings great (LOL).
