John is hungry

Let's Play "Who's the Financial Psychic?"

So the dollar hit a new low against the Euro this week. And Gosia and I are going to be in Tuscany three months from now. So the question is… do we convert our money now and hope to save a few dollars as the dollar continues to tank? Or do we wait until our trip to convert our money and hope the dollar recovers a bit?

Also, let’s send some pity Paris’ way. Great week to be traveling to London.

i honestly don’t think converting now or waiting will make much of a difference at all unless you are talking thousands of dollars. which you very well might be. in that case, change over a grand or so.

What if you put all your purchases on a credit card? Would they charge it in dollars or euro?
