There is no doubt that U.S. is in an economic recession now due to the credit crunch. Although U.S. authorities have started to implement 700 billion dollars bailout, we still don’t know when this financial crisis will be over. However, US leaders said that the outlook of U.S. economy is bright and America will finally get through difficult situations. We know that America and its people are going through hard times now. Just wish the financial crisis could be over very soon. Here TCG community would like to make a poll to know how the financial crisis affects you and your family, especially your travel plans. Please kindly help us finish this poll.

If I cash in my savings, I realize that loss; if I wait for better times there may be no loss. I'm going to hold off a return to China until the economy turns around. :(

GUEST22353	Gosh,Griz326; It is a wonder you hold off going to China.Its hard to understand this rationale you are committing yourself to.Its questioned why you wish so many people to know of your losses.Could this be involving an Ego Trip,so that you are more comfortable with the fact that other people know your standing in whatever community you may live in?

Invest right time right place and you too will after years have a lot to loose, at least if you´re lucky. Well, if you loose you are not so lucky any more. Carlos

Its one way of looking at it.Its a small problem for some people,who can maintain their health,and savings. Yet,it was the time to begin over,and just never quite made it back to the world of plenty.

I guess it is better to use money rather than letting it on the market, so I would say that hopefully, the economic crisis won't have any bad effect on my travel plan ;-). It is rather the contrary: things are getting cheaper.
However, as I really begun earning money a year ago and as I was already told that the coming year (this year) was going to be a bad one, I put everything on secured bank accounts. But if unfortunately some of you invested on the market, try not to sell now otherwise you'll suffer great losses.

The group of being tremendously hitted is baby boomers because their registerred pension could be half gone if they leave the working force in the near future.

I just came back from a vacation and I am eager to start my travel plan for next year. To those who likes road trips, these are the best times because the price of gas is going down.
