Q Are you concerned by the crash of US financial markets and its impact on Australia?

Jack Angwin, Shellharbour: No, I'm not. I don't have enough money invested to be affected by it yet.

Hamed Khalili, Iran: No, because of the currency rate. My family sends me money from overseas.

Dimi Tsolakis, Wollongong: I'm optimistic that the US will come to an agreement which will stabilise its economy. We'll follow the US.

Matt Whiteside, Wollongong: I suppose you've got to be, don't you? It affects us with house prices, everything.

Helen Pearson, Dapto: Yes, because I'm heading towards retiring age. I'm very worried my super will be less valuable.

Adam Lynch, Berkeley: Not really. Small family and we're renting, so it doesn't really affect us.
