Re: OMG, I”m Rich.
When my wife and i first arrived in Hungary i became a millionaire. There were approximately 200 Hungarian Forints to the dollar. Therefore if you had 5000 Australian dollars in the bank you were worth I,000,000 Forints, and a millionaire.
The feeling didn't last !!!
Another shock was coming back to England and realising how poor i really was.
