My American money is quickly becoming worthless! - GoFuckYourself.com

jasonir · 05-05-2003, 11:30 PM

Someone tell Mr. Bush to get the economy back on track before my American money is worthless. The Canadian dollar is at an all-time high. http://www.x-rates.com/d/CAD/USD/graph120.html

What's wrong with this world? I can't even afford to pay my bills with this exchange rate. I used to get 1.55x my money. Now I get 1.38!?!?! Any other Canadians in this situation? And I thought the situation was bad 3 months ago!

On another note, time to order some bondage toys from our financially troubled American friends. .

shut your face jerkoff. its artificially inflated to cut out investment as a result of Canadian nonsupport for the war.

or did you think the WHO Sars advisory wasnt punishment either?

Hey buddy, the poor American economy affects you more than it does me.

Edit: Boy you 2000+'ers are evil. I did not mean to make this into a Canada vs. America battle!

Pretty much. A weak dollar is supported by the Bush Administration. It'll help our export sector back to life, and put more pressure on EU and Japan central banks to decrease interest rates (which are low and nonexistant, respectively).

I think you mean the US economy is dropping. Our currency controls the market on all others. We are supreme.

DirtyRider · 05-06-2003, 02:42 AM

Yup i have the same problem. Sucks that it used to be 1.60 at one point. But i guess its good for the economy... whatever that includes.

topal · 05-06-2003, 03:27 AM

your money is becoming worthless because your goverment printing bilions of dollars each day and sending it to other countries for trade or giving credits.. have you ever heard why inflation occcures? because you dont have the equivalent of your money.. its just a name "$" and that name start to get into your country and start to give a place to "?" euro....

Marcus · 05-06-2003, 03:44 AM

It does suck, I'm looking to get a place in montreal and the currency converters dont look as good now as they did 6 months ago.

sacX · 05-06-2003, 03:47 AM

Don't be mad at us because your dollar is soon valued the sames as its 'worthless' canadian counterpart.

I've seen canadian dollar bashed SOO many times on this board it's unreal.

bristol · 05-06-2003, 07:51 AM

no.. he should not spend more money on his own country he should spend less, how the fuck you think letting the govt spend more money (therefore taking away what the private sector can do) is "good" for the econonmy, i dont know!

and it's not 40% of the federal budget.. $80bn for the war was less than 1% of GDP..

dapproid · 05-06-2003, 07:54 AM

Okay I'll rephrase: Spend less money on destroying other countries. And next year every american can have another $500 in their wallets to spend on healt care, education, cars, porn, whatever...

besterman · 05-06-2003, 08:44 AM

How can a smaller business owner hedge against currency fluctuation between US and CDN? I.e. you get paid in US and have expenses in CDN...how would you go about "hedging" You need a brokerage account?

Obviously the simplest hedging is segregating (US expenses in US dollars, etc..) but sometimes you have to pay debts in other currencies, etc..

That's very unlikely.. 95% of your expenses would be in US too.. the only expense in CDN would be living expenses, office supplies etc. You get better value for your money since the currency is in U.S. which makes living expenses in Can cheaper otherwise it'd be the same as U.S. if the dollar value was the same.. for people making money in CDN it feels the same.

Route66 · 05-06-2003, 09:19 AM

Hmm...sounds more like a problem of living past your means if that small of a change in the exchange rate is stopping you from paying your bills. Either that or you need to get better at your job.

Quit blaming others for your failures and you'll start seeing ways all around you to fix your problems.

You Canadians are getting off lightly, we've seen the dollar fall from a 40 Czech Krown to 28, now that sucks.

american currency was overvalued, now its down to a more reasonable level. if the deficit goes up even more, the dollar could still have some room to drop. also, keep your eye on inflation, if that starts picking up without economic growth keeping pace, the dollar could drop even more.

not looking good for the american dollar.
