My attitude to the whole thing is that it isn't my fault and the there's bugger all I can do about it. So why worry? If I lose my job there's still a massive freelance market with a great demand for the unique skillset I possess. Admittedly it's not 7 miles down the road like my current job, but it's no biggie.
I have very little in the way of savings (everything I have is in conventional savings accounts in high street banks and building societies). I still have 4 years of my fixed term mortgage to go and my credit card debt is shrinking rapidly.
I am similar - no savings (so I didn't lose anything), and the only debt I have is my mortgage, which thanks to my bank being sensible is at a really low interest rate. Plus business is way up - this is the busiest my team has been in 8 years.
I'm just working as usual, that's all normal folks can do and wait and see what the government/investment bankers/media foul up next :-)
