let's keep in mind what we're seeing on tv about europe's failing coutries isn't reflective of all regions....i have a good friend ifbb pro who lives in spain now and just opened a gym and has been doing many appearances and seminars.....so money is still good for the majority of people there (considering he only gets paid if people pay to see and listen to him....and that's expendable income people pay him)....so not all regions are being hit as hard as we see reported
