1. "The company my mom worked for, Expo Design Center, went out of business and she has been unemployed for the past four months. Being semi-dependent on my parents, it has affected me."

2. "No, I am still funding my tuition with loans."

3. "I have cut down on spending some, but not too much. I have had at least a part time job since the beginning of the economic downturn."

4. "The U.S. needs to allocate more of their time and resources towards helping the people. Sustainability is part of the solution. Focusing on sustainability will not only preserve the environment and reduce America's carbon foot print, but it will create jobs. It is also a great business opportunity."

1. "It really hasn't affected me because HEB doesn't lay anybody off. I really don't worry about losing my job, and I still get raises."

2. "No, I'm on loans. It covers my tuition. Later on, it will probably have an affect. But not right now."

3. "We try to eat at home more, buy more groceries more than we used to. We still eat out and go to the movies as much as before, though."

4. "I think if we didn't help out the lower class as much as we do, we could allocate money across all classes."

1. "I feel sorrow for everyone else, because I haven't felt the effects of the downturn."

2. "No, it hasn't affect me at all. My grants cover my entire tuition."

3. "I haven't adjusted any spending habits. Fast food is usually what I eat."

4. "I guess you could always lower rates for interests. That way we can gradually get better. Or we could even wipe out everyone's debts completely."
