It's fine if you have money to put away, but for those outside the USA a fairly minor change by a few cents may actually be a much larger change in relative income.

For example...

30 days ago the AUD was at USD 0.83. $USD10000 = $AUD12,048
Today it's at USD 0.90. $USD10000 = $AUD11,111. A $937 difference.

That effectively means I'd have to GROW my income by about 8% in a month just to have the SAME amount of cash in my hand.

This affects my income (less of it) and ultimately lifestyle (more work needed to make the same $)
