I’ll admit I’m a US politics junkie (especially this year) but I think I would kill myself if I had to watch Stephen Harper and his cardigans on tv for as long as the US election season lasts.

Yeah, it was a long cycle, but we’re already getting geared up for the next one! My clothes actually went out of style AND BACK IN during this election cycle. It really WAS that long! (my kids say I’m still out of style though!)

That was only 28 years? Wow, I thought I had tuned 70 last week. Amazing how long it goes on. I think the campaign for 2012 starts in December, so get ready.

Thanks for the link! It does indeed look like the fluctuations in currency cancel out the fluctuations in oil prices such that the relative prices remain somewhat in line… relatively speaking of course.

Ah, I’m not too concerned with the main ticket price. My gripe comes from hearing the ticket will cost $250, but by the time all taxes and fees are taken into account, you spend $350. (not even including in flight extras, changes to itinerary, etc.).

Thanks for the mention.

I agree that in the long term, net worth does matter. For now, I need to concern myself with my short-term financial health so tracking net worth won’t help me. Thanks for the mention!
