In 2003 it went to 100:1:0:0 for me for more than a year. It was a rude awakening after thinking that I was a high demand pro during the .COM bubble. Definitely taught me to hold onto my money.
Yep. I'm a fucking miser. My entry into the work world was 10+% unemployment and brutal cut throat for minimum wage. The idea I'll be cut at any moment and be jobless for years is burned into my mind so money is guarded preciously.
Also I'll never forget just how rude and pretentious recruiters were during that time with their new found power. You see the true colors in such times.
