In total I spend just above 8000 euros on cds, casettes and vinyls.

O_O My mom earns less than that over the course of one year, and the average pay in Serbia is around 30% lower than hers. Whoever's been stealing our country's money, please, give it back, so we can spoil ourselves for the first time in twenty years

I personally consider myself a lucky Serbian person for living with four other people in a two-room apartment instead of one room like a lot of people have, that my family can afford paying most of the bills and buying non-crappy food, that we all have our own cellphones (although my brother hasn't bought himself a new one for six years) and for "spoling" myself with a couple of cheap-ass shirts or pieces of jewelry each month What is funny in this whole story is that other European people complain about a three year recession and in the meantime we're all high-fiving each other because our standard has been so low in the past 20 years, it can't possibly go lower.

Most of kids in my generation are pretty humble and it makes me happy, although it makes a lot of other kids hungry for cash and doing whatever they can to get it. But I'm pretty happy about it because, if I'm meeting some of my needs with no money whatsoever, I can't wait to see how it will be like when I finish college and start earning on my own.

You won't hear me complain about my standard of living at all, recession or not. Funny thing thing is even though there is a so-called recession here people still earn as much as they used to and get their yearly salary raises. Inflation isn't too bad either and they can still go on holiday, eat properly, pay their rent etc. Us Westeners should stop complaining. We're spoiled rotten.

The recession has really hit me hard I have had to fire three of my maids and sell two of my five Rolls Royce's just so we can keep our holiday home in the Bahamas, Sometimes I wonder how I get by at all.

Really you are right, We are spoiled rotten, But years of being spoiled rotten have got us bitching about how "bad things are" in reality we are the lucky ones.

Best album of 2011 in my opinion.

Just listened to this album again. Damn, most probably The Netherlands best rock album ever. And the production is just FLAWLESS. You can really hear that a lot of money was spent on that.
