What do you think will happen in 2016? What do you expect from the economy both worldwide and in your area of the world or country? What about terrorism and war? What do you expect to happen in the world but also in your corner of the planet?
I see some very serious times ahead. I think there will be more terror attacks including in the USA. I expect more wars to break out.
I do not know what to expect of the economy -- it is hard to predict. it can go either way in the USA. I do not know that we ever really came out of the last recession but I think there is a possibility of a deeper one or a brand new one.
Whatever, happens, it is always interesting, both the bad and the good. Happy New Year.

I like your mantra. I think that I am going to borrow it if that would be ok with you.

I hope 2016 doesnt bring terror attacks (but what can we really do to prevent this?) It seems like there has been a lot of violence all around the world in this past year. Hopefully this year is better. I am not sure about the economy - it seems Ok now - although I have no stocks or anything - just my job to keep!

If you have been following the news, the stock market is having some very bad days. This is actually the time to buy stocks because eventually, it will bounce back.
I think that we are going into a bad recession.
Actually, terror has been with us since the beginning of time but in our time, we get to hear about it 24/7 and we get to hear about it all over the world. A long time ago, people couldn't read or write. There were no TV's -- no cable, etc. All people knew about was their own little corner of the globe.

I don't expect the worse but the peace and order has the tendency to get worse unless countries would join hands to strongly combat terrorism. Now as for the economy, I think I will just look at the USA because whatever happens to USA economy affects the world.

I've no clue what 2016 will bring.
The UK government seems to be expecting some sort of terror attack as they're busy recruiting more intelligence officers and more armed police.
Economy wise I've no clue but hope i can manage to get a job in 2016 as the previous year wasn't at all good for me and savings are seriously running low
The rent i pay currently is so low even a minimum wage job would allow me to significantly top up my savings...just hope i can do so before i have to move from here into the real rental market

Well, the way terror works is that they get you when you least expect it -- when you let your guard down. I know that many European cities were canceling events and beefing up security around the New Year and nothing happened. But that is because everyone was on alert.
Terrorists strike when we least expect it-- when we are not prepared. That is among the ways they strike terror in our lives.
