Modern Great Depression

The hardest thing I would have to give up if we had something similar to the Great Depression happen to us today is going out with my friends. At least once a week I go out to eat, to the movies, bowling, or to parties and bonfires at my friends' houses. The only thing left to do would be to go to people's houses and go outside because there probably wouldn't be as much TV watching or video gaming, everything would have to be inexpensive. I would also be going to less places because gas is so expensive, and everyone would have to cut back on travel. It would also be difficult to go places if problems became drastic enough that my family would have to sell a car. All traveling would be cut in half and my family would all have to go to the same general area. Hopefully nothing horrible like that will ever happen again, because I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't hang out with my friends.
