Is the Economy Making You Do Anything Differently?

I'd like to buy a new car, but I've decided to put doing so off for a year. Truth is though, I decided that before the economy began to tank. I figured I ought to be in a job and liking it for a year, before I decide to take on a major financial obligation (oh, I'm sorry, am I now disqualified from getting a loan because I was able to exercise independent judgment on my own finances?)

Are you putting off any major purchases or doing anything differently from a consumption standpoint?
