How the Economic Downturn is affecting consumers

We partnered with shop.org in helping consumers tell the real story about how the economy is affecting them. These were all shot by our community themselves, in their homes and in their words, and sent to us after we posted the question.

Beware you might find this depressing…our editors asked next time if we can ask a more cheery question like “How did it feel when you found out the Tooth Fairy wasn’t real?” But look closely and you can also spot the resilient, optimistic nature of the American consumer. We’ll be back.
