Pardon me for being unable to sympathize.
They are not worried about having enough to eat or about losing their homes, or paying their utility bills.
Perhaps the designer industry is suffering -- they can't afford $800. purses.

An eye-popping $2trn of the combined worth of the planet's billionaires has 
  been evaporated over the past year. More than 300 people who could claim 
  that prestigious label last year can no longer do so – that's 30 per cent of 
  them. Warren Buffett, the US investor who used to be the world's richest 
  man, has taken a $25bn (£18bn) hit, putting his bridge partner Bill Gates 
  back at the top of the pack. The 10 biggest dollar-losers between them have 
  this year lost more than the annual GDP of Ireland.
