Took advantage of the market in buying another home so that was good. Quit my job back in Dec of '07 and have been 100% self-employed with my company I launched back in '04.

2008 has been a very good purchasing year and up until August, when my primary client was wiped out of their products, was a very good sales year.

I have seen a slight resistance in consumer spending since people are worried about their future, but when overhead is low and planning is accurate "the hit" is manageable.

I do get people that use "the economy" as a bargaining tool but hey, that's business.
