Up and Downs on Iceland.

Most people on Iceland have had it really good for the last years. Other people have been having a hard time to live the rest of the month. Now on the other hand most people have lost all there life savings and are struggling like the other were but those people are struggling even more.

The last year the government had been working on rules so they have it good, but it isn't really good for the people who are struggling. Now some of them are struggling and first now they think about what they can do, because they need help. Other well off people have it fantastic because they knew what was coming so they got ready and made this ten times worse. Now they’re building really, really big summer houses when others can hardly pay for their house.

Then there is the food and other stuff. The food is getting a lot more expensive and there is not as much of it, because we are a tiny island that has to by a lot of stuff from other countries or make it for ourselves. People are coming to Iceland and buying a lot of stuff and taking to their countries. They come to Iceland to work and then send their money out to there families. Icelanders on the other hand can't go to others countries to buy a lot of stuff because we can only buy for certain amount of money to bring back home. The government has opened the country for people from other countries but are putting a stop on us.


So basically you are living great or you life was turned up side down.
