Fortunately I don't have any personal "horror" stories, but my wallet certainly isn't what it once was. I left Gainesville, Florida and moved back home to DC about a year and a half ago to be closer to family and get a "real" job. Funny, I was actually making more down there running a sports bar than I am now.

Yeah, I worked in that industry for a little while too GM. I took a different path, pursuing a dream and moving over here to Japan before things got bad. I've lost touch with nearly everyone I worked with, but I wonder how some of those people are doing now. The established people who were making over 200 a year and trying to spend every penny of it, buying 400k condos and sports cars, assuming the good times would roll forever.
