    based on the info, you will probaly not fell anything
    You are years a way from retirement and you have
    no house to pay for, and probaly no money investet
    in stocks
    and if your bank are going down the gov will secure
    your money (the gov where i live will do that for private ppl)

    As soon as you breach $250,000 in income (before any expenses). Then you'll go weeping to your mommy that it isn't fair that the governmetn is taking 70% of your money.

    I do not know how you are being supported in the life as a student. I do know that many students will be feeling the effects of the recession (depression needs more quarters) come next year. I am aware of a few private schools budgets and they are already assuming freshmen admissions to be down 5+%. Juniors and Seniors with school aid are probably ok to finish, but the aid may be pulled on the marginal performing freshmen and sophmores as standards are tighened up. If you are going to a publicly funded institution or have wealth/parents that will continue to back you -- congradulations.

    I hate it when forums display your location. Now I have to be original.

    The Crysis? Probably never. There are no alien bases underneath the earth and our islands are not encased in big icy spheres yet.

    When men with funky nanosuits start using your dorm room as a bunker against north korean tanks, then the Crysis is on.
    I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

    the above posts are correct. Your unlikely to feel much pain, because you have nothing invested, so nothing to lose. Housing prices are way down making it much easier for you to buy a house when the time comes, but you also wont get those rediculously low intrest loans. one of the outcomes of the current debaccle is that there is massive de-inflation of the economy. manufacterers are sitting on huge inventories and stopping production because people are bailing out of contracts left and right ( or waiting to pay half what they would have in their contract) and manufacterers are not buying raw resources either, so whats happening is a system wide slow down and drop in the price of everything. this essentially causes large unemployment which means when you do graduate, you will likely be underemployed ( meaning you can't find a job to fit your qualifications so you have to settle for something less).

    all in all those of us just entering the professional job market wont likely feel the sting nearly as much as our parents.

    Expect tuition to rise, course offerings to diminish, jobs become more scarce, smaller to nonexistent raises...beyond that, I don't know enough about your situation to guess at other immediate effects. If you're independent, you'll feel it, but at least you have no family responsibilities and I assume you're healthy enough to not worry about health care just yet. If your parents are still subsidizing you, you'll prolly just have to hear more :wub:ing about economic conditions...unless they get laid off, anyway!

    tuition should actually go down because less people can get student loans. tuition has been very high for a while because of cheap loans meaning a buttload of people went.

    You are going to graduate into a depression (like me). That means you will have to be very lucky to get onto a career track that will end up with you making lots of money. Luckily for me I gave up on the idea of making lots of money long ago, but since it's your stated goal, I can only wish you good luck.

    As an undergraduate right now, i'm only really worried about how sensitive the job market will be in another 3 years, considering as a Math's graduate, the financial sector isn't looking to promising now.

    Apart from my savings getting crapped on, everythings going alright at the moment!

    If you are a math's undergraduate -- stay for the MS at least -- probably can start adding two appropriate classes in senior year if you are at a university.

    Good luck to you.
