Recently I remembered one song by one Czech band... lyrics were in Czech but it went something like this:
Money just the money dont wait
You just reach to them and they have you.
(yeeah, I know it is not rhyming in English so add "...as bait", but that is not the point of the story).
I think I could say about myself that I am quite a modest person, but on the other hand, couple of years ago when I was a student I made much less money than nowadays and still I save around 25 % of my income. The fun in this is something else. That logically now in absolute numbers I have to spend much more than when I was a student, but still I have a feeling that not much has changed. And that I would see the difference between now and then, only if I had to be forced to have the same income now as when I used to be a student.
How quickly one gets used to better conditions and how tough it has to be to lower your "standards".
