"After a roller-coaster year, the euro appears to be headed firmly on an upward track as Europe's once-sputtering economy starts firing on all cylinders and the U.S. dollar weakens against major currencies."
IHT's news turned my knees into rubber.
Sure, this would mean that more US manufacturers would be able to sell their product overseas and that the US will see an influx of European tourists but...
let me be selfish for a moment here to rant because...
I earn in US Dollars and spend in EURO [insert swear word here]!!!
The best (and only way, imho) to deal with a weakend dollar is to get the best exchange rate possible.
Should you be heading off to Europe with your dollars anytime soon, it is best to buy your Euros in Europe. You can also withdraw from your ATM when you get to Europe, just make sure you are careful to choose the card which does not charge extra fees for the transaction. That way you get the best rates.
