What were you thinking?!?!? The conversion rate alone will have Numbers bitching for another week how he was swindled out of 1000 Euros...and only got $1159.85 USD.

Being that I live in the EU and all my money is in the US but all my expenses are here, the conversion rate is something that has a big effect. The US dollar is close to an all time low against the Euro going back more than 10 years.

Yes, can we leave the poor disabled pregnant man alone, this is very cruel and it could mean the baby's born even more spasticated than it already would have been

Far from yup!
We can't speak for @Jack.

Although after he donated, things apparently went south given the recent exchange between him and numbers dude where they weren't getting along too well.

I think it might have also been the conversion rate. Rumor has it @Jack tried passing off 100 Rupees as $100 USD. Played total havok on the GoFundMe conversion chart.

Incidently, @Jack has been banned from donating on the GoFundMe platform, with fears he might try to pass of his newly minted crypto currency called "The Cock Coin" as real virtual money.

Yeah, I noticed that when I looked up the conversion chart. The dollar. Backed by nothing, and is worth nothing. Anytime inflation gets a little high, just print more money. That way my normal 2.99 loaf of French bread becomes 5.99. Thanks U.S. Dollar! I mean we could just use Monopoly money. It's worth slightly more than the dollar.

Yet another reason that the idea of moving out of the US is enticing more and more people. Even though the conversion rate is unfavorable the cost of living overall is so much less, as is the purchase of real estate.

The average Greek lives on about 1000 euros per month and that includes feeding a family and paying rent. So Expats living off of passive retirement several times that amount (even after conversion) can do quite well. Especially if they owned a home prior to the move that they sold and used the proceed to purchase a residence inside of most countries in the EU.

That's because you make assumptions that are always wrong.

You know I was Edna at TV?

No I don't know you were Edna at TV but I'm aware that the name of Jack was associated with the Edna user ID.

So I'm willing to listen to your dubious claim.

I once got something from Edna, tell me where it was sent, how it was sent, what it was and if you knew what it was, answer the next obvious question that I'm not asking which only the sender would know.
