It’s so sad!
I’m Canadian and in case you aren’t aware the Canadian dollar is actually worth more than the American dollar right now. It’s the first time in decades that our dollar has been higher than the US dollar.
I just looked it up and our dollar is worth 1.01775 in the US. OK I didn’t say it was a lot higher.
Still … since most of the money that I earn via the internet is paid to me in American dollars through my Paypal account I’m actually losing money. Paypal takes a small fee, I believe it’s 3% when they exchange money from US currency to another currency and of course, when I transfer my money to a Canadian bank account I end up losing money.
I think I’m going to look into getting an American bank account. I think I can. Then I’ll use that as my main Paypal bank account and transfer my money to my Canadian bank from the US bank account. I must look into this.
I’m sure there must be several Canadians out there in the same position that I am. Have you thought of any ways to cut the lose a bit?
