yeah, this is the frikken pits when you get paid in US$.
If it hits 1.60 I'm seriously reconsidering my position, cos I'm taking piss poor pay cuts every month

yea .....i feel your pain :disgust

this is so depressing.

Because of the dollar's weakness, outsourcing to Eastern Europe has become pointless. I have found programmers and artists in the states that are cheaper and produce better products.

crazy

I am seriously considering that,

The only change would be that I would be meeting the people I chat all the time with - which would be only positive...

Another thing,

Is there any other place in the world where you could:

1) drive a real car?

I don't mean those trendy 1,4 diesel shitcars that sound like a mowing machine but a REAL BIG ASS car with sound and character

2) eat like a KING

there is NO better dining level in any place in the world as in the States, the only place where I could get a breakfest here is McDonalds

Definitely things that I care about, plus there is LOTS of amazing, bright, succesful, wild and SHARP looking women in the States, seems like the fat ass rule doesn't entirely apply in higher circles.

Have a look at this documentary from 2005:

That day the dollar falls is coming very close! Enjoy the last days/weeks of "the good life"!

That's the reason why I'm looking for sponsors billing in euros: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=812566

My PayServe account is at 263.25 EUROS. Payout in American USD = 403.272675


Remember, never put all your eggs in one basket.
Diversify just like in the stock market.

yep, I'll start diversifying. So far I've trusted dollar but things are getting really unsteady.:disgust That graph is creepy

fuck my rent basically went up $100 in one month, the Czech Kronen is even stronger against the dollar than the euro is

at least those few idiots who claim the US economy wasn't in trouble have finally shut up around here

fiddy euros = 1000$US

btw US credit card companies are supposed to experience problems in 2009-2010

maybe this is the Apocalyps Bush was talking about in his first year in office

maybe NEVER again elect a president who believes the end of times will come in their lifetime, because they might to everything in their power to get it started

btw: $1.54 to the euro, can we say $1.60 by April?

Lets hope not.. :helpme:helpme:helpme

I moved to Cancun a few weeks ago, and I'm being heavily affected by the dollar low price. It's at 10.50 pesos to 1 dollar, and that really hurts, when in years past it was between 11 and 11.50 to 1.
But the worst part is that here in Cancun there are lots of Europeans buying homes because of the great exchange they're getting, and that's driving prices up, while the dollar keeps going down.

just think that it (could) go to 1,71 and be happy with 1,53

;-)

that's actually a minor drop (not even 10%) compared to the rest of the currencies. Used to get 30 Czech Kronen for a dollar, now you get 16 Kronen, everyone has been seeing 40%-60% drops

be lucky you're in Mexico, the peso seems to follow the dollar, compared to the euro it did however drop 30% over the last 5 years, still it's better than what the rest of us is seeing ... fuck the Mexican peso has been more stable than the US dollar, for that count if you were earning Russian Roubles you also wouldn't be hurting now

2002 in Poland... about 4 zl.... now 2,3.
:1orglaugh

in that time inflation in Poland also did something :/

I present to you: the leader if the free world

Bernanke is a fucking fucking idiot...

America is being run by a bunch of fucking monkeys just when I start earning money in USD. Bad bloody timing...

seven years ago it was 40 Czech Kronen for one dollar.
The bad thing is the cost of "life neccessities" like food, energy, travel, beer :winkwink:etc. went at least 50% higher since that time, so actually one dollar buys you only 25% of "life neccessities" what it bought you 5 years ago. It doesnt affect me, but imagine seeing your buying power decrease by 75% ....
Of course we could buy cheaper computers, cars and so on....but you dont buy them often.

I am happy that almost 100% of my income is in euro's

big pimpin all the way for us true euro players

Yes but if your income is 100% US based then this has no bearing on the value. You're taking your US earned money and buying traffic or content in US dollars. It's a 1-to-1 deal.

When we shot in Eastern Europe 2001 and 2002 the models begged us to pay them in dollars and we were giving us a $1.15 to 1 exchange rate. :(

Euro crying babies. :2 cents: Please grow up. Thanks.
