My entertainment spending is about the same as ever; I've never spent a lot of money within the fandom, but I spend a lot of money on outside the fandom works.
I actually lost a job late last year due to my company no longer existing; it was a newspaper reporter job for a print newspaper, a job that even sounds like it would be the first to go in the crisis. Ironically, it was actually an aggressive buyout from an unfriendly rival; it actually had nothing whatsoever to do with either the economy or the prophesied doom that is coming to the print industry. I've since moved on to a job in, uh, franchise restaurant management, which embarasses the hell out of me, but it's actually more than paying the bills, so whatever.
