Question

How are you, as an individual, affected by global economy

Answer 1

For example your personal wage could be affected by the global economy. 

If the global economy is in a good condition, the employer might be more likely to be generous with wages, and if it's in a bad condition, the employer might be more careful and might be trying to save on their worker's wages. 

Another way is the availability of goods: during good times for the economy, the inter-country trade flourishes and more foreign goods are available.
