Recession stories

[DividendDragon]

So believe it or not I was only 14-15 years old when the recession hit! (Crazy right) so don't remember much other than the tightening of the household budget.

I want to get some stories and perspective about how you all reacted.
Did you go on a buying spree, panic sell get shocked by LehamnBrothers collapse?

Thanks
