On the other hand a trip to the UK in October may have to be reconsidered. Swings and roundabouts.... |
Re: Exchange rates
I would presume much of the change is due to the falling price of oil sucking money out of Canada, and the Greek situation sucking money out of the Euro to 'safe' currencies like the pound. So it's hard to say which way the rate will go from here.

Re: Exchange rates
I have no interest in the CAD vs GBP although it it goes up high, just means we won't be visiting the UK next summer as we have though of doing.
But the CAD is just losing too much against the USD which is where my concern is, looking like we are gonna be locked in Canada for a while if it keeps falling or doesn't go back up to the high 80's/low 90's again. |

It's well worth it (critical at my age). Do not let your bank talk you into GICs. Mutual funds are the way to go.
But one step at a time;) |

We will sort it out soon...we're both relatively older and have public pensions back in the UK. My husband will be a business soon when we get round to it and so will differ slightly again. I guess when I start working:fingerscrossed: I will be looking at that side of things... RRSP's etc.
But one step at a time;) |

Just looked up fares for dates in September, Air Canada is cheapest. Round trip YVR to Halifax 1,922....:rofl: It's very unlikely we will ever get to that part of Canada. With a good exchange rate travel can be done pretty cheap south of the border, not so much in Canada, even driving costs a small fortune. |

Close.
1.9417 and a bit gets me the 7th digit. It's just a game, like wanting my £ salary to be higher than my age. It has been at times. It's a dead heat at the moment. It won't be in a couple of weeks. 1.9431 at close of business.:thumbsup: |
