I'd be interested in a call for an update to the "How are you adjusting to the economic crisis?" now that we're 3 years in. I'm interested to see how many habits have "stuck," how many new tactics have been developed, and who's reached a new equilibrium that's swung closer or farther away from the "pre-recession" days.
Thanks for the idea Brittany! It's a good one. I see if I can run something late this week or early next week. I'd be curious to hear reader thoughts on this issue too.
