I earn about 95% of my income in USD so I'm taking a beating right now living in Asia with a weak dollar. All of Asia is getting stronger and you can count on inflation along with the sky rocketing cost of food (even rice!) and oil. The cost of rice alone has DOUBLED in the past few months!

While I am all for getting out of the USA, I would suggest you plan very carefully and have some money put away for a rainy day. If you can, find a way to earn in another currency.

Hard times ahead my friend. Buckle up and good luck.
