Terrorists break into US Capitol Building

You fucking said you were loving the shitty Russian economy because you were paid in US dollars and everything was priced in the crumbling ruble and you were swimming in cash due to this, now you're saying it doesn't matter because you were actually paying MORE for the shit you were buying while you were in Russia compared to what they cost here in the US?

Yup, that was for what a few months before I left? You are basing my entire spending habits based on the last few months I was there? That’s funny.
My salary was in dollars, which is one of the currencies you want to be paid in, along with euros and pounds, when you live in a country with an unstable currency and economy.

When the Ruble crashed, there was an extremely SHORT period when things were priced nice, until stores adjusted prices.

Let me help you out Tgo01.
When the ruble was let’s say 65 to the dollar, a box of cereal cost 800 ruble($12ish). When the ruble crashed to 140-150 per dollar. All of a sudden cereal cost $4.50, until they adjusted their prices. So yeah, for a short period of time, I loved the crumbling Russian economy.


Last I checked, a box of cereal doesn’t cost $12. So yeah, I’m doing fine.

If you knew anything about living abroad, you would know foreign products(other than like Pepsi and shit) are ALWAYS more expensive.
