I am going into my third year of working as a banker.

Work is steady, the market is great, life is good.

Everyone has sold their shares today!

People are scared. It looks as though the market is headed towards a complete and utter collapse.

Facing economic hardship, the bank at which I worked for was forced to close. Currently I am unemployed and looking for work, as is much of the city.

Children I saw protesting while I was on a walk down town.

My apartment's rent has been raised drastically, leaving me with no choice but to move out, I can use what little savings I have left to rent a much cheaper apartment, in a run down, dangerous neighborhood. Without enough money to buy enough food I have been going to the soup kitchens. The soup is not very appetizing, but I have no choice but to eat it.
