WiseBread.com has an interesting article on the slowly “sinking” US currency. The author has pointed out a couple of things that directly affect us because of that.
“It takes more than $1.40 to buy one euro today. It cost less than $1 as recently as late 2002. A Canadian dollar is worth just about exactly a US dollar–a parity not seen since the 1970s. Should Wise Bread readers care? If so, what should they do?”

this is a very eye-opening article. I was recently visitng Paris and its insane, the prices are times higher than in New York. The US dollar is underrated. I felt poor there. A bottle of water and two sandwiches costed me $20.

I viewed a news story the other day on this issue. And it is scary. And WOW Faith, $20 for a bottled water and 2 sandwiches, that is absolutely INSANE.
