I wouldn't bother catastrophising, it's inevitable that one of the three p's will get us (humans) at some point, maybe not in our generation. Whether it be pollution, power (electrical/oil) or population.
Remember the minute you are born you start dying.
Have a happy day now!

During recession money tends to flow toward the banks. But the banks are going have some very lean times with maybe a few of the smaller ones going to the wall.
Where will the money go if there is no confidence in the banking industry?
