[Choose #2] I am still in my planned budget for diving.. The boat is in dry dock this summer and I am paying for charters and taking more dive trips instead.. And I am still way ahead of my budget this way.. So I still cut back on spending to buy more stocks..

[Choose #2] My budget hasn’t been affected, but there are not as many "group" opportunities to take advantage of because of the economy.
