Most people who work in the service industry are (understandably) nervous right now, aware that their potential customers are counting the pennies and denying themselves expensive dinners and shopping trips. But you'll be relieved to hear that there's at least one place immune from such mundane concerns. According to Bloomberg News, the Hamptons' restaurants, hotels, and shops are overrun with mega-rich spenders for whom "recession is something that happens to other people." Like lung cancer, or identity theft!

And even if some Hamptons denizens are anxious about money, they deal with it not by economizing, but with yoga: The owner of a yoga studio in Sag Harbor is so busy because, she says, yoga "is a relief from the brain's thought processes."

So there you go: No need to worry about having your house repossessed, just do like East Enders and stand on your head in a nice leotard.
