I don't. People are everywhere out spending lots of money, driving big cars burning lots of gas. I don't even see a hint of a recession other than what is on paper. I realize lots of people are out of work, but I personally do not see any change.

I notice inflation. When I was a kid you could buy a 2 liter soda bottle for 99 cents. Today, a 24 oz soda bottle costs 1.69 cents.

I think what you most see is the increase in gasoline raising prices.

My lifestyle doesn't seem to change, no. But I do notice price changes.

No.

When it comes to work, especially no. Good times or bad, people always get sick.

Only thing I notice are the gas prices.

But I live in the DC Metro area - we are kinda shielded from the rest of the US

remember when you could get a good hamburger for like 3 dollars? I thought that was something but then my dad told me he bought them for a quarter.
