Anyone else stressed out about the effect of the recession on their business? I can't afford to lose much right now, especially as we get into the holiday season. Inflation is getting higher and I worry that people are slowing down their spending already.

I am concerned too. Everybody is talking about it so much that people will be scared and stop spending.. and if they do, everything comes to screeching halt until people become hopeful again. 2008-2010 were terrible years for my small business, I hope it doesn't get repeated.
