[Leica] working & earning & lifetsyle

[manolito at videotron.ca (EPL)]

If one feels poor living in a particular country and can find no way out of
that, the wise thing to do is to move somewhere else where the cost of
living is lower and one's resources go further.

In some countries, $10 a day buys a more than adequate lifestyle, all
inclusive. In much of the USA or Western Europe, one gets lunch.

To remain in a wealthy society with the resources of a pauper seems foolish,
unless one likes that sort of thing.

One could live quite decently in a poor country for two or three years for
the price of one Leica M Monochrom or a new 50mm Summicron-ASPH, or
whatever. Neither airfare nor batteries included.

It is probably easier to move one's own location than to revamp a whole
socio-economic system to include everybody who wants in.
