seven years ago it was 40 Czech Kronen for one dollar.
The bad thing is the cost of "life neccessities" like food, energy, travel, beer etc. went at least 50% higher since that time, so actually one dollar buys you only 25% of "life neccessities" what it bought you 5 years ago. It doesnt affect me, but imagine seeing your buying power decrease by 75% ....
Of course we could buy cheaper computers, cars and so on....but you dont buy them often.
