My parents' investments took a hit, but their jobs are more or less immune to economic downturns.
I have no investments and do not own a home, and while my job is not glamorous it pays okay and I don't see it being affected by any of the slowdown. So aside from my parents' savings being affected (which would affect me if I ever had something happen to where I needed assistance from them) the downturn hasn't hurt me at all.
I'm actually hoping it lasts for a while, or at least long enough for me to complete my degree and get into a position to where I'm ready to buy a house....
