Where's the post?

Oh there it is. Yeah that sucks. What's nice is being an American in America but dealing with your funds almost entirely in foreign currencies or gold. Works out nice.

If I were you, I'd get a bank account in the UK pronto. Don't let it drop any more.

yeah that is great if you money starts out as pounds and are paying in dollars. Doing it the other way around it not so good.

But at least what you have saved wouldn't keep slipping. It's a little late but a year and a half ago had you gotten an account in the UK you'd probably still have alot saved.

Luckily not all of them.. BlueLevel Cash pay in Euro.. and even pay pretty damn good

Still, big part of the income for most of us is in dollars i guess.. Just have to work around it the best we can

Now is a good time to pre-pay for American services if you're in the EU.

As for sponsors... 25 quid/signup, now THAT would be something to shout about.

Anyway, I was bitching about how the drop of the dollar is making it a major financial pain to be an American in the UK when your main source of funds is a US bank account. Grocery bills alone are up big time.

Oh well..tis the way of the world I suppose.

i feel your pain. i'm in holland and telecommute to america for my job and am paid in USD. things are already more expensive in europe and the exchange rate is making things worse.. tryign to keep as much money stateside as possible.
