Every month Sadie and I send money home. We use this money pay for our student loans and we also try to save some of it. Most people never have a need to look t exchange rates but for us its a very exciting thing. Well it probably isn't all that exciting for Sadie but it is for me. When Sadie and I came to Japan we were able to exchange 1 USD for 122 - 128 Yen. Now that we are living in Japan we hope to see the Yen strengthen. Over the course of last week both the dollar and the yen did in fact strengthen. This month we were able to send money back home at a rate of about 106 - 108 yen for each dollar. This might seem like a small difference but when you are sending a couple thousand dollars at a time it is a very nice difference.

Do you check exchange rates or stock values? Do you find it exciting or boring?
