10 Positive outcomes of financial crisis

The financial crisis is everywhere.. It's on the news, it's in your homes, it jumps with you into to bed at night. Living is suddenly at a very high price.

But there's good sides to it as well, and therefore i bring you my very own top 10 positive things about the crisis.

1. Just like the 1930's generation we'll from now on always get to tell all other generations that they are spoiled! 

2. For once Christmas is the cheapest month of the year.

3. People stop complaining about their jobs.. those who are lucky enough to still have jobs.

4. You yourself have become a lot more appreciative of your job. You can't afford to hate it.

5. You always have a great excuse for spending money ("we're never gonna get out of the crisis if we stop spending!")

6. Less CO2 outlet.. no way we can afford to keep up the old outlet with these gas prices.

7. Yet another good reason to be thankful that you live in Europe and not in North America.

8. Economics classes in school suddenly seem relevant. Terms such as "hysteresis" and "the business cycle" becomes easy to remember and relate to real life situations.

9. Being bound to the EU´s Euro rather than the British pound or American dollar no longer seems risky.

10. USA is running out of money to spend on their war on - well - everything! The war on terror, war on drugs, dictatorship, communism, you name it! (they'll take right about any excuse to bomb other continents).
