The wind of economic blues has changed our lives drastically over a few months. Here are some noticeable changes in the lifestyle all around the world.

The online shopping has taken a toll after the recession. People are searching for ways to save money rather than buying something.

During the pre-recession period, the most searched topics in Internet were Armani, oysters and buy-to-let mortgages. Today the most searched topics in Internet are Primark, grow-your-own Veg and flat shares.

The ongoing credit crisis has reduced people's interest in organic food and they are now looking for ways to save money by using cheaper cuts of meat.

Few people are searching for cruises or round-the-world trips, and more for cut-price coach tours and camping.

The fashion has gone from fads to function in the recession era. What people want to know now is, how to dress for less!

For the first time, people are taking simple measures to save money, such as turning down thermostats and putting lids on pans.

In the recession period, people are thinking that buying bottled water pointless, a huge shift in thinking from a few years back.

People are spending less money on fads like Feng Shui and personal horoscopes.

People have started scrapping something they no longer thought necessary, with that designer water and accessories for dogs topping the list.

Checking the above list, some people in the older generation feel that recession is in fact an eye opener for a generation, who wondered on the new ways to spend money!
