    It could just as easily be $1US will get you $4EU in 2 years and you
    will be in fat city. I think the best plan is to eliminate all the
    bills you can (some can't be insurance ect)and go as early as
    posible. Besides if the US $ is devalued for very long those other
    countries will colapse. Who do you think buys all those German cars
    and that chocolate cake. And who will be buying those Japenese cars
    at $80,000 plus for a Corola. Or those electronics that are so cheap
    now. And if Corona beer gets to $12 a 6 pack I'll be a Bud man
    again. Bottom line is as the US goes so does the world, it just
    takes awhile for the cycle to turn back our way. By the time you're
    ready you will be just fine if you focus on getting rid of that debt
    now, and if not you might want to be where most of the worlds food
    is anyway... just my US 2 cents
