AUD/USD is 86 cents.

Australia is officially 30% more expensive to live in than USA.

I'm not waiting til the dollar 1:1 like it was back in the 70s/80s.

Time to Jet!

Aussie Rebel · 07-02-2007, 08:59 PM

Yeah the dollar sucks and is only going to get worse

d00t · 07-02-2007, 09:05 PM

ill post a link to my ebay auctions when i put my junk up for sale

Adam_M · 07-02-2007, 09:09 PM

Yes the USD is sucking at the moment.

If the Amero happens then it is going to really hit...

RawAlex · 07-02-2007, 09:15 PM

Come to Canada... we are effectively 1:1 right now.

Cell phone charges??? My US cell experience has been extremely cheap compared to home...

US phone: 39/month (USD) for 1000 min, free txt, im etc
AU phone: ~65/month (USD), 35c/min + flag, unlimited free sms/mms

I'll head to the highest bidder, lol ... recommendations?

eroswebmaster · 07-02-2007, 09:46 PM

and now we go doot doot

The Other Steve · 07-02-2007, 10:19 PM

There's no doubt that the USD sucks but instead of going to the expense of moving overseas just look around you right here in Oz - there's plenty of work to be picked up here by anyone who can design a decent website - hell most of us could do it blind drunk and still run rings around those who claim to be professionals in Australia.

NewbieNudes · 07-02-2007, 11:00 PM

Yep - it's got to stop! We are gaining in sales and traffic but declining in earnings because of this USD.

When George W is gone and the USA stop pissing money into the wind in Iraq then hopefully it will bounce back.

Fingers Crossed.

Very true Steve.

Our Australian business is doing just fine since it's all in AUD anyway but when you've got tens of thousands of dollars coming in from USA every week.... every cent the dollar increases in value is literally thousands that comes off the bottom line.

Plus, USA has Dr Pepper and cheap cars!

d00t · 07-02-2007, 11:07 PM

to be honest i dont see it going down anytime soon.

Look at the historical data.

tabasco · 07-03-2007, 12:33 AM

It's tipped to pass 90 cents before the years out.

Trust me to get into this business at a fucking 18 year high.

en21 · 07-03-2007, 02:41 AM

good luck then with the moving :-)

voa · 07-03-2007, 02:47 AM

Have a nice trip and good luck with your moving

We can remember the days of 48c

Doot - I understand where you're coming from - and you're right - the Aussie dollar is not likely to come down any time soon ... and sometimes I doubt that it ever will.

Ramos · 07-03-2007, 02:51 PM

come to florida

Phoenix · 07-03-2007, 02:58 PM

ill buy a gun before the amero comes about...people need to be reminded of why we are our own country

Buy a gun then big boy. Everyone knows 90% of canadians will lay on their back if a merger either hostile or not ever happened with the USA.

Calico Jack · 07-03-2007, 04:07 PM

The 48 cent days weren't all that long ago either...5 or 6 years. I used to love goibg to the bank and doubling my money on the spot. Times were good.

nekrom · 07-03-2007, 05:25 PM

Fuck it's a crock of shit, tell me bout it. 5 years back it was around .50 and around .85 for a litre of petrol. I rekon the rest of us won't be too far behind you.

-N

rowan · 07-03-2007, 05:39 PM

$USD1000 @0.48 = $AUD2083 (2001)
$USD1000 @0.87 = $AUD1149 (today)

Not long to go before the effective income between then and now is down 50% (which really hurts me cos that's when I got into adult)

How's the NZ dollar looking? You pay no income taxes for the first 4 years.

If I was single I'd probably be over there by now, I would love to have an extra 25-30% of my gross income in my pocket. Alas I have a wife, kid, cats and mortgage.

I live in Asia but the company is US based (Vegas) but I am from Sydney. Took the kids for a holiday there a few months back and yes....it was hugely expensive.

I am in the US several times a year and it, compared to Sydney, seems real cheap. Exchange rate, the costs and the tax rate and I cant go home except for a holiday.... thats sad.

Sydney is still beautiful and nothing beats lunch at Doyles but when the shittiest Chinatown eatery (That does great food) called BBQ King is $100 plus for a decent feed then insanity wins.

Yeah that kinda makes it hard.. It's hard to imagine living without paying tax, that'd be like a dream come true!

It's another fantasy from the US - no way does any neighboring country, Cental America or South America want to be associated with the dollar as it is now.

I honestly wonder how much of a shift we're going to see in the next year or so. The Euro is so tempting at the moment.

90c is some seriously heavy bullshit. I so hope it doens't get there. On the flip side those big domain sales are looking a lot more affordable!
