I'm really feeling the effects of this recession?

I'm due to tarvel to India for 5 months late november for a holiday. I have just found out that the currency rate as gone down, instead of the 85 ruppees I would of got before I will only get 79 ruppees. This means I only have 10 000rps (£125) to live per week while traveling. How can anyboby cope with samll amont, I hate this recession.

3. Well, count yourself lucky. At least you can afford a holiday. Millions of people are out of work and losing the roof over their head. That is the real impact of the recession.
4. feel lucky you can go on holiday at all, my hubby'sbeen made redundant, 1.9 milllion people are out of work and its nearly christmas, and by xmas they say 3 million people will be unemployed, i wish theyd admit were in a ressession
5. your so lucky , iv just been to the supermarket , Salisbury's , and not many people in there and what are , seem to be buying there own brands , me included , so think yourself lucky
6. i wish i could afford to take 5 months of to travel so im sure there are people who are feeling the recession more and cant afford things like rent electric food etc so forgive me if i don't empathise with you enjoy your trip though
7. And how will having approx £1.50 less aday affect you? have you actually looked at how little most indians have to live on, i hope this question is just a wind up if not you ought to get real and think how lucky you are
