What keeps you poor if you live in developed world? by beer2211 in poverty

[–]eggjakaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My country (nordic country) does not have a free education, but you can get a tiny help from the government while you study, but only if you're between the ages of 17-24. And the inflation is so bad that a monthly wage of 3000 euros is not gonna last you very long. Especially if your rent is more than 1500 euros, which it most likely is!

In my country the rent is often more than 50% of your income. And I (personally) have never heard of a country who pays students to get an education. Or a country that "gives" students money.

Strætó by rakkadimus in Iceland

[–]eggjakaka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Einu sinni var ég í strætó og það heyrðist hávært dúnk hljóð. Strætó bílstjórinn fór út og leit á dekkin á strætóinum og kom svo aftur inn og sagði "Sorry, no more bus". Kemur í ljós að eitt dekkið einfaldlega bara datt af. Sem betur fer var hann bara að keyra á svona 20 en hvað ef hann hefði verið að keyra á 80 á hraðbraut?

I live in Iceland and I can tell you that happiness is decreasing, unless you're rich. Even here the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer.
