Dollar vs Euro
Everybody would laugh if I asked you about it even a year ago. Because a year ago people loved Dollars else. Today many of us in different countries don't like Dollars more.
If I do something and somebody pays me with dollars, PayPal gives me about a half of the sum in Euro. So, I work practically for coins. And I don't like it.
But if I want to pay phone calls to my American Phone-company, I pay a half sum in Euro. This means that my calls are very, extremely convenient for me. And I like it.
When I want to buy something in US, made in US from US stuff, it's very convenient for me, because I pay half a sum for it. And I like it.
They say, this year New York was full of European consumers. They bought everything they saw in incredible quantities. They loved Dollar, I think.
Many shops in US (they say) don't want Dollars more. They prefere Euro.
Forbes wrote that the most highly paid top-model, G.Bundhen (?), just a year wants to be paid only in Euro. And financier J. Rogers wants to sell his houses to buy ... yuans.
Do YOU like Dollars?
