I stand corrected.

To be honest, I completely lost the sense of scale with money in general. It all feels like Zimbabwe dollars to me. The news talking billions and trillions. Meanwhile friends who used to be well-off (in US/UK/EU) struggle with mortgage payments and/or bills. And the ones not laid off are expected to grind 10hs per day to keep their jobs.
