Every day we hear scary stories about the impact the so called current financial slowdown will have on the lives of ordinary people like me. And it makes me wonder, how will it have a negative impact on me now when you consider the fact that I was much better off prior to this so called period of boom?
By better off, I mean my purchasing power was stronger than it was during the last 6-7 years of economic "growth" when prices started climbing like crazy, when everything started revolving around money & money worship became the main religion of our "businessmen".
Have you guys noticed something? It is the so called "businessmen" who are complaining. For the rest of us, most probably it has brought smile to our faces, at least this is true for me. In fact, I see the current "decline" as the real growth as long as it helps brings down the prices to realistic levels. Enough exploitation in the name of economic "growth".
On a side note, I have set up a new blog which basically is a collection of UAE themed blogs. It is a small effort to unite UAE based bloggers & it will only succeed with your cooperation. And you know what motivated me? It was this post by a fellow blogger Aisha. Have a look & do share your opinion.
I have tried my best to include all the UAE blogs I was aware of, but if I have missed you, let me know. Enjoy the weather :-)
