my unfortunate Grandma worked as a nurse in the States for most of her life before returning home to Ireland to be a full-time Litle Old Lady. As a result, her pension is from the US, and it comes in dollars. 50 euro a week was wiped off the pension in the last few months.
thankfully, she nursed in the UK for a few years during the War, and is entitled to a small pension from there as well....
But anyway, yizzer economy is fucked.
