Do you feel secure in this economic enviroment that we are presently in?

The stock market is very volatile these days.The worlds economies are in a state of transition.There are layoffs and companies are downsizing.If you are self employed then you are affected also as people are saving more and spending less.So.....do you feel secure as to your income or do you sometimes worry about keeping your job or your source of income?

 

In india (chennai) i heard some of the software MNC companies start layoffs their emp.....some days after only we know what will going to happen ?

 

@logaseo
You sound very much like most people that I talk to.They are hearing things that makes them feel like "Will this affect me?" But no real answers.I think all the uncertainty out there makes people feel less secure these days.

 

Yes you are right spoiltdiva last 2008 also this only happen most of the software emp lost his job in India now another one time same thing will happen in 2011 also...

 

@logaseo
I believe you have nothing to be concerned about.A 22 year old SEO is a valuble asset.Young tech people are in high demand.

 

Nah, I'm not worried. As long as digitalPoint exists and freelancing in general, all you need is knowledge.

 

@Tetrahydro
I like your confidance,yes good knowledge can see you through these tough times.

 

I have some economies so for at least 2-3 years i can survive without making any money ... at least
I'm not very secure but i'm not stressed change of power is happening in the world
Us going down
Others going up

 

@w3bmaster
You are a freelance SEO with a lot of experience.You must know by now how to survive finacially.By now you have learnt how to make ends meet and do not rely on a paycheck.You will survive where others may not in these uncertain times.

 

When the first economic crisis started in 2008 for the first time i had clients that told me they don't have money to pay me or they wished to pay in some rates ...

So if it will get worst i can't predict what will happen but yea i don't depend on a paycheck ...

 

I think we are pretty much at rock bottom already, however the effects are still visible and there continues to be business closing everyday.

There's a few years to go before things are back on track thats for sure!

 

@w3bmaster
Your English is getting better,posting on DP is helping you with this.[o]

 

Yes spoiltdiva SEO analytics always secured because they know how to maintain site, how to market their site, how to use these days usefully . All SEO analytic personally maintain some blogs, or classified sites, or article site, etc . In this time surely these are helps to them to earn money by ad-sense, link selling, banner ads etc....

 

@Projected-skye
There are those who will not agree with you that things are at rock bottom.The purveryors of gloom and doom claim it will get worse yet.Hopefully you are right and they are wrong.

 

@logaseo
You chose a good way to make your living.SEO's are considered more valuble these days than ever before.

 

Fast answer: I feel pretty normal

Long answer: See below

I feel normal. There is multiple ways of making money today. You got the people at the top with big money that they stay here most of the time. You got the people with no money that do nothing and you got people with no money that wants to be rich.

I don't have much money in my bank, so I feel pretty normal honestly. Speculations and all that stuff are dumbshit to me.
For me stock market are only way that big rich are playing with the little people

10 years ago, my uncle was earning low cash and everything, he had many problems. He won many millions with a lotto, he then placed his money in the bank, he is now earning $200 000/month only for the interest.

He was working like a bad ass to earn a living like $50 000/year and now just by doing nothing he earn $200k/month.

The day I learned this, my perception changed a lot.

 

what you saying here i cant understand ........

 

@Kerosene
I am like you in that I too have nothing to be concerned about if the world's economies were to suddenly collapse.But there are others who are very reliant on paychecks.I do understand their fears and concerns.I am at a point where I no longer have to work if i don't want to thanks to an inheritance.
@lesportifs
You seem very relaxed about it all and have a good philosophy.It's nice to read that people like you and Kerosene aren't worrying too much.I guess there are still those who feel good about the future.

 

My english is not good. I will try to explain. Let's say you have $850 millions on your bank account, you earn some interests or other stuff. (For him, it's around $200k/month at the moment)
