Today started with a shock news of Lehman Bros filing for bankruptcy protection and Merril Lynch being sold to bank of America.
It was also shocking because I once applied for a developer role at Lehman Bros. The interview was a total disaster and I failed to get a job on investment banks in the end but my life still is working out fine.
That was also the time I took more attention to the world finances and I couldn’t really understand how they could produce so much money from imaginary “product” and where all that money was coming from…
The introducion became too long as I got writing, but what I felt today was the real impact of inflation.
I went to macdonalds to get an unhealthy dinner (because I felt like it) thinking a big m*c meal will set me back £3.29 as I was charged (probably) last month.
I was in utter shock to find that the medium big m*c meal now costs £3.80!!!
I am still in a shock.
