Dollar sucks!

I noticed the same thing last year when I was there. I'm still kicking myself for not investing in euros back when a euro was .90 USD.
Will

man you are going to make a huge cash... why not share it to us?

It's about 1.6 dollars to a pound now... nice little payrise for me at the moment

Yeah, I am from the UK but since I earn a lot in USD it means I'm getting paid more But wow, the pound is really bad for travelling and exchanging, especially to Euros!

It is just going to get worse too. As long as the Fed keeps printing money as a solution to the US economic situation, the value of the dollar will continue to dramatically decrease.

When I got my first job, pushing carts at a local supermarket at the age of 15, I decided to buy some gold. I did this for two reasons - one was that at the age of 15 I thought it would be really freakin cool to have some real gold bars, and two because gold cost ~$273 per ounce at the time and I had been reading a lot about the Federal Reserve and U.S. Economics and figured it would be a good investment.

MAN I wish I would have bought more than the 5 ounces I ended up buying total, because what a healthy ROI! 10 years later and I still have that gold. It cost me a total of about 1400 bucks at the time (I bought it over the course of about 4 and 1/2 months.) It is now worth slightly over $5500!

Hindsight is always 20/20

It was really low at one time but now it has gone back up a bit. I think dollar will remain more or less stable. Of course, not as valuable as it once where. Personally I prefer saving up in different currencies.

Just had a quick look at Currency Converter , friends are going to USA in next few weeks and just crazy how it fluctuates. Probably change again by time they go ,
All the best guys

I hate to say this, but the US Dollar is going to lose plenty of value over the next several years. You can't print trillions of dollars out of thin air and not devalue a currency, seriously.

gold is a good place to keep your money - not even necessarily as an investment to "make money" (though you will) but just as a safe place. Its not hard to sell gold either, there is ALWAYS gold buyers who buy back at close to spot price.

Come down to Malaysia... Us dollars is well loved here :-D

I'm French, and go to NYC every year. When I'm in NYC, it is amazing because I can buy many things almost twice cheaper than in Paris.
The bad side is that all the rest of the year, I work 90% with Americans, so when I earn $1500, I only have 1000 euros here.

Well, Europe marketers are very lucky, but... I'm from Uruguay, South America, and boy, we are really lucky too, for example, the AVERAGE salary in my country is $450 dollars, a police officer earns $500, a doctor might earn $700 dollars per month, do you see the potential for people like me earning overseas?, is really powerful, because, for an internet marketer, 500 dollars per month is not much, for some of you is peanuts, but for a guy like a me, it means a good living, and what if I earn more?, well, maybe buying a top-notch condo.

Here in uruguay, the dollar is pretty low, but still it represents a real opportunity for marketers.

It's horrible and good at the same time.

My wife's parents from the states occasionally send checks for christmas/birthday...and its horrible to see how little the dollar is worth anymore. I feel bad for them every time they send us money.
Furthermore 100% of my business is in dollars, clickbank earnings, own products etc..etc...so in "real life" earnings it is way less.

The good thing: Yes, i am spending a lot on outsourcing, articles, IM products...and of course that's all relatively cheap

I am also from Europe and I agree with Big Mike. When you need to buy
something online in USD it is pretty cool. You see an ebook for 27$ and only
pay 18€ or something near that.

But when you get paid from clickbank or CPA platforms it is so depressing to
se such a smaller number. Espescially if you recieve a high checks.

You know a fun trick guys?

If you work with any INT aff companies, select/request that they deposit your funds in Euros.

I routinely bring in an extra $40-$50 this way, for some reason my bank converts the USD amounts to a higher value than the affiliate company.

I suspect this is because the exchange rate is lower in the country sending it here than it actually is here.

I'm from Nigeria and our currency actually lost value against the dollar.

Ours is a petro-economy and when the price opf oil went from $147 to $35, it cost us badly.

Where all waiting for it to touch $150! (laughs)

You know it's bad when you start seeing Euro's (or better yet British Pounds) in rap videos...which I have seen more then once.

Yeah the dollar sucks the big one right now and is likely to get worse.

On a good note, if you can still afford Europe you no longer have to deal with the American tourists that make you want to hide your nationality, or at least as many of them.

Dollar dose suck, and it isn't going to get any better.

As a Brit living in Cyprus its swings and roundabouts for me, US dollars are very poor compared to euros, however I can buy stuff from the states for next to nothing.

Dollar will be in decline, if not a full out plummit here shortly. Keeping my eye on the Massachussets election. Wishing I had a bunch of money to dump into silver and gold right now before it goes down.

There is this little thing called "Fractional Reserve Banking" that was put into place with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 in the United States. Almost all of the Worlds Central Banks including those in the European Union use Fractional Reserve Banking.

This means that Banks only have to keep a small reserve of cash on hand. This allows them to loan out the excess which is in effect creating money out of nothing.

Add to this the Federal Reserves ability to print money backed by nothing. And the Federal Government using T-Bills to get that printed money (With interest owed) and you have the recipe for disaster.

The system has creaated Debt Slaves. Everyone making payments on everything. The Banks holding title to everyones assets.

If you want to "Fix" the dollar then support people who support ABOLISHING THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

A "Debt Model" for an economy is by definition doomed to collapse. Debt is not Capital.

And Americans are completely ignorant of how the money supply works.

It's going to get worse - a lot worse. If you have money in the bank you would be well served to get it out.

Hyper inflation is coming. The complete collapse of the American Dollar is being engineered.

I suggest to travel using Euros for payment

It is advisaable to keep 5% upto 20% of your assets in Gold

It has been a steady rising investment for a few years now

This hedges against a world-wide massive devaluation
