A Global Economy

Living overseas definitely changes your perspective of the value of the U.S. Dollar. Recently there’s been a lot of press given to how bad the Dollar is doing … had I been stateside, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it. Living in South Africa, I pay attention to what the Dollar is doing … especially since I’m trying to buy a car.

There are so many things that influence the global economy … the war in Irag, oil prices and supply, interest rates, consumer spending, the Fed, the economic/business cycle … the list goes on and on. So many things I have no control over, yet they affect my life.

It’s so interesting how your perspective changes with a change of location. Good thing God is still in control.
