i feel myself slipping into an online howard stern-eque sort of character since when i stop self-editing is when i actually say something controversial enough to be worthy of a comment :)

E, you’re in a class all by yourself!

happynz, thanks for the positive encouragement

daniel, lookin’ forward to the cortado

sandlapper, yeah, the market can certainly be a cruel task-master. i definately enjoy playing with the sharks….of course, the title “savers are frickin idiots” was really just trying to get someone to disagree with me! hahhahah, i guess i have to increase my readership from 4 to 5 before that’ll happen!

Happynz's points cover the local stressors.. the worst of it is that many people dont know any other way to gain height than to stand on someone else... But for most people, these are transient thoughts.. mindless comments that dont seem to harm anyone, but make them feel a bit better. <br/>I'd add that many of us aren't as busy as we used to be... we're reaching for things to keep us busy... idle hands (and minds).. <br/><br/>To Uruguayans, we're monolithic... all the same, envied as a group... strength in numbers eh? <br/>but within our group, we're individuals.. fair game to snipe at... amongst ourselves... even brings a little missed 'tribalism' into the picture... and we all know how good that feels.

To Uruguayans, we’re monolithic… all the same, envied as a group… strength in numbers eh?
but within our group, we’re individuals.. fair game to snipe at… amongst ourselves… even brings a little missed ‘tribalism’ into the picture… and we all know how good that feels.

Since I'm out of touch, I didn't know what a "hater" is, but I googled it, and now I do.<br/><br/>It's sad that you've observed this inclination in expats. It's certainly not healthy for the expat community, but also especially bad for the "hater". IMHO, envy or jealousy that leads to this way of thinking likely contributes to any number of chronic conditions, mental & physical.<br/><br/>BTW, been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your rants about trading and the general direction of the economy. I've thrown away about 10 grand myself doing stupid things trading. And, I agree with you that saving is probably a basically dumb thing to do - it's much more fun to have sharks in the pits eat your money in huge bites than to have moths just nibble-nibble-nibble your savings.

Moving outside one's comfort zone to a new country and having to cope with a new language can be quite daunting to most. Some work through the changes and eventually learn to cope and celebrate the similarities and differences. Others never climb out of the pit of culture shock and revel in spreading bitterness.<br/>Top marks for hanging in there. I wish you continued good living in Uruguay.
