So far, I haven't felt any bad effects.
The Yen I brought back from Japan (in cash) is worth 60% more than it was when I earned it. I expect to change it soon.
My job is teaching international, and mostly Chinese, students. A global recession could see demand in China taper off, but due to the fall in the AU$, we should pull students who might otherwise have gone to the USA.
I have no kids, no mortgage, and am saving. Except that I keep spending on stuff for my new home, but I'm just doing that to help the global economy .
