For example, if I want to own a grocery store to sell foods and other products, I would have to have a predetermined amount of cash at hand. But lest say the while the total cost is 1 million dollars all I have saved in 1/2-million. In this case I may have to borrow 1/2-million dollars to create the business.

Something else: lets say that working as an automobile mechanic I bring home (after paying taxes), $1,500 per week, but I want to buy an automobile that costs $10,000 and only have $8,000 in savings at the bank. I can go to the bank and borrow $4,000 from the bank, and retrieve $5,000 from my savings. I buy the automobile, but owe the bank $4,000, and have to pay the bank a portion to this money each month for a period of 3 years. You can consider this $4,000 as living on credit.

However, while a lot of Americans live on credit, a lot of others don't. All depends on how frugal I am (the mechanic I referred to above) with the $1,500 per week I bring home each week. Maybe I don't need the automobile
Yes, you described the same as in Russia. But in most Russian banks and housing loan interest rates are high and often give in 2 times more than the loan. Although all exactly the last time people take on loans, but if you use the credit that I think that at least the necessity or for business. the rest can be and so buy. In Russia, too, people working in the private sector, but to him to Verie less than to the state. The more the state structures in Russia very much. The same is reborn prestige be soldiers.

Crash course while in the AF, translating Latin-American and Castilian Spanish.

You would go crazy here. It is mostly spanglish that is spoken. Drives the true spanish speakers nuts. I get to hear it at work about how their kids do not speak true Spanish (or Spanish at all). Really proves the point that after a couple of generations, immigrants become totally Americanized.

Enough of the hi-jacked thread... Continue on with the Russian vs. US talk. I have been following it all along and find it fascinating.

Большинство людей, которые размещения на русском языке помощью переводчика и не может говорить ни одного слова русского языка. Я не говорю, но я могу ввести его в переводчик, и он будет сменить его на русский, он не может быть надлежащим говорят русские, но вы можете понять, что я имел в виду большую часть времени. Я нахожу ваши мысли по Америке интересными.


Most of the people that are posting in Russian are using a translator and can't speak one word of Russian. I don't speak it, but I can type it into a translator and it will change it to Russian, it may not be proper spoken Russian, but you can understand what I meant most of the time.
I do find your thoughts on America interesting as well.

I understand what you wrote but why it was necessary to write it eludes me.

The world has become a small place, what use to be a wall between countries such as language isn't that big of an issue anymore. In due time I would expect that anyone can wear a verbal translator that you simple put into your ear and talk, the other persons language is translated from what you said and so forth so they can understand you. In years past you had to learn the spoken word or had someone there that knew both languages and could translate for you.

When I can type what I want to say into Russian, Chinese, Spanish and let someone know what I said right off the bat, it takes a lot of walls down around the world.

It wasn't that long ago that people could come here and talk with us, for both political and physical barriers of language.

Pretty darn neat!

How you doing by the way?

Thank you, that explained!!!! as for me talk in a conversational English support can (I think the meaning is clear) but with regard to a letter-how to compile the proposal, cases and end for me it is difficult, as I did not want to learn English and gave him very little time. But now I think that he needed. best way to learn a language is to live half a year, or move in the same country depending on the language.
