Poll Started 26 January 2009: How close to the brink are you? Three months ago we first did this poll... then recession was on its way. Now it's here. Have things changed? On a scale of nought to nine, how near the financial edge are you? Which of these is nearest your situation?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
