I know a lot of people will do as Devil predicts, but a few will alter their habits for good. It's probably most affecting those who are already responsible - reinforcing good habits and creating awareness to be even more careful to save for times like this! Oh I hope so!

It is true that many people have been compelled to reconsider their habits. It would be nice if this resulted in a long-term change in how we view money. Also nice: If our leaders actually encouraged us to participate in activities that were good for our personal finances. You make a valid, albeit somewhat depressing, point, devil!

Yes, but only because they must. If credit becomes cheap and easy to get again, most people in debt now will just run up their debt even more. There are, of course, a few exceptional people who actually learned a lesson from this economic collapse. Most didn't, though, and they'll never get themselves out of the holes they've dug. “Do you think that this recession is causing people to re-evaluate their personal finances?”
