The reasons why I started this blog

To save you time I'll make it short:
I have a lot of friends and relatives asking me often what do I think about the Romanian economy, about the real estate prices in Bucharest, about the job market, and of course what currency is best for savings. I certainly have strong opinions about all these subjects and I often express my conviction that all of them are fully interrelated.

However, I often get replies that are contrary to my opinions and to my mind are contrary to many laws on which economics is based. My common sense tells me that those replies are based on nothing but thin air. While I cannot claim I am an expert on Romanian economics, I do believe I understand the macro forces within an economy better than most of my Romanian friends and relatives.

Eventually, at the peak of one of these discussions, I realized that there are high chances I will be proven right soon enough, whereas the other person will be proven wrong. Being that I am still a full-time student and have no intention to bet money on my opinions, I found a better way to put my thoughts on paper and then hold the paper high. Blogger.com has given me this opportunity.

Beginning tomorrow, I will post my thoughts about the evolution of the Romanian economy once a month, on the third Thursday of the month. I am sure it will be a lot of fun. And if, in the end, it turns out I was right more than 50% of the time, I will be more than happy ;-)) See ya soon.
