It's constantly in the financial news now about how the credit crunch is going to affect us all in a bad way and perhaps even lead to a recession in the economy, but what does this actually mean for your average joe, (worst case scenario).

As far as i can see the worst that could happen is that it becomes a bit harder to get a loan or a mortgage and house prices will come down. But most people in britain want them to come down because they've been too high for years! Why are the media portraying this as a bad thing. If it becomes harder to get a high mortage, surely the negative effects of that will be cancelled out by falling house prices?

Other than these points how could a recession/credit crunch possibly harm you're average joe?

Could it be likely to cause deflation, (if thats the opposite of inflation?) Even if salaries drop on average, again that will surely cancel the effects out?

As long as i have the money to go where I want, and buy what i want, I can't see a problem

I am asking this because Bank of America just charged me $190.00 for transfer fees because I made more than 6 transfers in one month and a B of A employee said they had to charge this fee per Federal law. Is this true?

I have recently bought furniture from Levitz, but they are now bankrupt and so my furniture will not arrive. How do I get my money back? I used a mastercard from Taiwan, so I called the credit card company but they said that since Levitz already withdrew the money from a bank in the US, they cannot get the money back. They said that I could fill out a form and they would deal with Levitz and get back to me within 45 days. I went back to Levitz and they said I could also go to the bankruptcy court. I am confused, what do I do? Does it matter whether the mastercard is from Taiwan or the US? I know most companies refund you if the product does not arrive.
Thanks in advance for the replies. (Sorry, not sure which category to post this in)

I sent a letter out as first class (it was only one ounce) on Nov. 27, and it still hasn't arrived there yet. It usually takes 2-4 days for my letters to reach people. I live in IL, and it was sent to her university in NJ. She says that the mailing system there is super slow, so I should wait a couple more days... I'm still worried though, so could anyone give me some information about mail sent to universities? It is usually really slow? It's almost the holidays, so I'm putting that into consideration, but it's been about a week now (not including Sunday)... What's the longest amount of time it could possibly take? Thanks!

Hubby's worried because he's heard from a manager from another department that his boss is not impressed with him or his note taking (they keep track of what they do with the notes I don't know why my hubby wasn't covering his ***). His boss hasn't said anything to him [yet] so should he be so worried? As of today he's been taking notes of everything he can think of. Thanks all!

It seems to be a pointless activity, all those gas guzzlers going around in a circle. I just read an article that the NASCARs run on leaded gasoline and each car puts 100-200 lbs of pollution in the air each race. NASCAR friviously burns through a precious resource and puts toxic chemicals in the air, how can we be serious about the environment and allow this so called sport to continue. At least put some EPA regulations on the cars. It would be funny to see them race in Toyota Prius.

So Long story short I don't enough money in my account to cover the check, I have some of it but not all. I called the bank and asked if they would cover it(pay it ) and just charge me a fee or would they sent it back (bounce It) there response was very cloudy They said they are not required to pay it but may as a courtesy. So I don't know what will happen and am going crazy. Does anybody have any experience with this? My bank is bank of america.

How do you journalize a transaction where a customer returns merchandise that is scrapped and gets a refund? Do you debit goods back to merchandise inventory at full cost?
It just says that the merchandise is scrapped (no value). I cannot find anything about this on the internet!

has anyone seen this web site? ordered anything? get ripped off? BEWARE!!!
I may be getting ahead of myself but my dumb *** ordered almost $600 worth of stuff. Sent the money Western Union to some guy in London. Because they dont accept credit cards and he picked up the money but I havent received my UPS tracking number for my stuff!! The phone numbers have changed on there site. You never talk to a live person. You have to order at least $500 worth of merchandise. How convienent for them for the holidays. To rip people off. They said they were affiliated with the BBB. They have never heard of them. So now what do I do?? I know I should have never done it. I have sent them several emails which in the beginning I got a reply but now that they have my money, NOTHING!!
Anyone else get scamed??

Our city yearly puts on a western-themed parade, chili cook-off, rodeo and carnival to raise funds for the local charities. However, over the years our demographics have changed from semi-rural to a more urban, affluent constituency.
Consequently the yearly fund raiser has sufferd from lack of interest and has lost money for the past five years. What alternative functions have your cities found to be profitable?

This could be the biggest problem with the productivity of American businesses. Workers are spending to much time on the internet. Maybe this is why there is so much outsourcing, so people you have no one to blame if you lose your job to India.
