I got into adult around 2001/2002, my USD income has increased each year but currency losses mean I'm effectively standing still.

$USD1000 in 2001 = $AUD2083
...
$USD1000 in 2007 = $AUD1190

So today I have to work at a factor of 1.75 - getting near working twice as hard - to have the same amount of cash in my pocket at the end of the day, as I did in 2001. Remember, these are currency losses only, this ignores the fact that it's getting hard to make $USD in the first place......
