Dobra plata, dobro mesto, jeftin real estate

Clive Hamilton:

"Economic growth does not create happiness: unhappiness sustains economic growth. Thus discontent must be continually fomented if modern consumer capitalism is to survive. This explains the indispensable role of the advertising industry. Advertising promises things to make people happy, so it works only as long as people are unhappy. By persuading people to buy more and more, advertising promotes continued degradation of the environment. The greatest danger to consumer capitalism is the possibility that people in wealthy countries will decide that they have more or less everything they need. For each individual this is a small realisation, but it has momentous social implications."

Kako se ljudi u Australiji pate sa 50 hiljada, 104 hiljade i 245 hiljada godisnje. Evo meni samo sto suze ne idu na oci, strasno kakva je ovo sirotinja:

“If I had at least another $200 every month, it would make it much easier,” Robyn said. “I get paid monthly and once I load my transport card, do the grocery shopping and pay my bills, it’s all gone.

 

Samo joj fali 200 dolara vise, da ima tih 200 sve bi bilo OK.

 

On a good month, he puts away $1000 towards his house deposit. He would like to buy a property by the time he’s 32-years old but said the increasingly property prices means that target is very changeable.

 

Stici ces, nema da brigas, imas jos 40 godina da otplacujes, polako. 

 

A evo sampiona: “My husband and I earn close to nearly $245,000 a year and really struggle with the cost of living raising our three and two-year-olds,” she said. “The reality is we will never be able to break the cost of living cycle to buy our own house. Before you roll your eyes, we don’t live a life of luxury.”

 

Bez komentara za prvake, nema potrebe.

Zivot na kredit tokom poslednja 4 meseca, kako se dug sve vise povecava, tako se datum zivota na veresiju pomera unapred:

The problem is worsening, with the planet sliding into “ecological debt” earlier and earlier, so that the day on which the world has used up all the natural resources available for the year has shifted from early October in 2000 to August 19 in 2014.

Evo bas pre neki dan kcerka Brusa Lija je objavila kratku poruku koju je posvetio njenoj majci, tadasnjoj verenici:

 

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently act frankly; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In other words, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. - Bruce Oct 20 1963

Play Makes Us Human V: Why Hunter-Gatherers' Work is Play

 

(1) It is varied and requires much skill and intelligence. (2) There is not too much of it. (3) It is done in a social context, with friends. And (4) (most significantly) it is, for any given person at any given time, optional.

Nesto ove godine kasni HSBC expat report.

U medjuvremenu nabasah na ovaj tekst o proslogodisnjem izvestaju objavljen na B92: http://www.b92.net/biz/vesti/svet.php?yyyy=2013&mm=11&dd=02&nav_id=772787

 

Svoja najbolja iskustva na radu u inostranstvu, po poslednjim podacima ankete HSBC banke, "gastarbajteri" širom sveta pripisuju zemljama Jugoistočne Azije.Njih posebno ističu kada su u pitanju nastanjivanje u novoj zemlji, integrisanje u nju i pronalaženje prijatelja.

 

Kada je reč o ekonomiji, Tajland (br. 4) , Indonezija (br. 6) i Singapur (br. 9) uvršteni su među najbolja mesta za život inostranih zaposlenika. Niži troškovi života i veći potencijal za zaradu su, ipak, učinili da Tajland izbije na prvo mesto kao najisplativije mesto za strance, dok su Indonezija i Vijetnam visoko rangirani kada su u pitanju mogućnosti za razvoj karijere. 

 

Kad je reč o društvenosti, prijateljstvima i aktivnom uživanju u društvenom životu, Tajland se nalazi na vrhu grafikona. Ispitanici su rekli kako im je veoma lako da prihvate lokalnu hranu i kulturu, sa 60% onih koji kažu da je život na Tajlandu doprineo njihovoj zdravijoj ishrani. 

Tajland, takođe, zauzima visoko mesto među strancima koji su u potrazi za boljim materijalnim položajem.

Tajler Durden razbija: http://www.theminimalists.com/fc/

 

Do you know what a duvet is?…It’s a blanket. Just a blanket. Now why do guys like you and me know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word? No. What are we then?…

 

We’re consumers. We are the byproducts of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don’t concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy’s name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra…Fuck Martha Stewart. Martha’s polishing the brass on the Titanic. It’s all going down, man. So fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns.

 

I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war…our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.
