It depends on what you work as and how you spend your money among many other things

She got a pedagogy degree and worked in many state departments

@Mr. X she saved so she could retire

That's what she managed to get

My grandfather went to england and came back with very very little and worked on a lot of jobs

He worked all over the world

With a lot of hard times

Same for my grandfather but it takes a lot of hard work to get richer

And she didn't retired in a good comfort

@Mr. X well it's hard to say this but we are brazillians

Sure that the Irish get it bad

Specially at the past

But usually here things are harder for the lower class

That can only get better if the economy rises, the best way to rise it is if more and more people work and work hard

Ireland's economy crashed a lot too

That could be avoided

But my grandfather worked a lot internationally

Plus surplus of work causes the economy to crash

Yeah we don't have money for that

I will probably never leave Brazil

And I'm fine with that

I will do my best to change things here

It causes the economy to crash? How so?

The thing is that the economy benefits from unemployment

As there are unemployed and needing people willing to be paid less to get the same job

Having everyone working is going to inevitably cause a depression in capitalism

And there is the thing about overproduction too

Then why is Japan not having a depression?

@Mr. X they had some years ago

It's about cycles

Really?

Yep

2008

Plus the recovery is being done by heavy injections on finance capital

Needless to say this will not solve it

In fact it's a artificial recovery

What about China?

It will result in a even bigger crysis

China produces a lot

Their conditions are horrible

@Mr. X yep, but they aren't rn in a time of depression
