I'm not just competing with other webmasters. It hurts when you have to work harder just to make the same amount of local currency.

In our country it is:
2001 1$USD =40CZK
2008 1$USD =14CZK (almost double of what it was in 2001)
And that doesnt count local price increases. The USD buys you(basic living necessities, housing, traffic fares, etc.) around 20% of what it bought you in 2001 here.
Despite that, I am working less and earning much less then in 2003-2006. After few years in adult I got simply bored as hell.
