42. A weak dollar is paradoxically good for me

Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 08:56 PM by Lydia Leftcoast

My prices are stated in yen for the convenience of my Japanese clients, and when the yen is strong, I reap the benefits.

When the dollar is strong, I get a dollar for every 120-130 yen. When the dollar is weak, I get a dollar for every 90-110 yen.

Thus a 50,000 yen job brings me about $400 with a strong dollar and $500 or more with a weak dollar.

My patriotism and my pocketbook are at odds. :shrug:
