For Richer, For Poorer
As Bulgaria’s stock exchange took a serious hit amid worldwide stock plunges and predictions, it emerged that last year’s strong growth in housing prices would not be repeated this year, a new survey found. And, the country’s relatively rich are getting relatively richer.
In Bulgaria’s first year of European Union membership, households earning more than 2000 leva a month tripled…from one per cent in 2006 to three per cent in 2007.
But for 56 per cent of society – the poor, the elderly, small town and village dwellers – the rate of rise in incomes was slower, according to the poll by Noema agency, released on January 22 and quoted by Bulgarian news agency BTA.
Most of the times, I think attitude is the thing that determine you to be rich or poor.
