I'm trying to understand how much money we'll have floating around when we move. But the dollar has been collapsing against the pound (and maybe against other things too). Naturally, when one is offered a post in a foreign country, one converts to one's own currency units. Well, since I was offered the job (couple of weeks ago), it's now £2100 less than it was. So it feels like I'm not going to get as much money. Of course, the number of loaves of bread I can buy with that salary is unchanged, so I am getting as much money. But then it makes me wonder how much money I was getting in the first place.
It all seems too arbitrary to me.
