Remember back when the exchange rate was .8 Euros to the dollar? Or when a dollar would buy almost two Canadian dollars and four kiwi dollars? Well…those days are gone…you should have gotten rid of your cash then…now it’s like trying to sell the house you thought was worth half a million for $350K, it’s too late. It’s going to get worse though….trust me.
