First of all, I just want to say that I don't really know how to look at this from the IM standpoint, so I'll just blab about some other stuff.
For me, the cost of gas and the state of the economy is forcing me to do something I really didn't before (not in earnest anyway) and that is: evaluate. I am starting to evaluate what's really important to me.
I really don't worry about our economy collapsing anymore. It may well happen, but that's okay with me. Because at this point, I feel like everything that happens is perfect, even when it's horrible. I'm not really sure how to describe it. I don't really tune it out, I just don't rely on it for meaning. If tomorrow I ended up homeless on the street, I'd just be thankful for the chance to not be in my office and go about seeing why that experience happened to me (ie what I am supposed to learn from it).
I know I can IM money. I've done it. But I still don't really think money is all that important...it's just one other made up thing we've got going in the game.
