Really? Everything I buy and earn is in dollars. Foreign goods will become more expensive (already have) as the dollar sinks against other currencies, but I don't understand why I should hold money in those currencies unless I am worried about the dollar becoming worthless, which I am not. If I put my money in Euros, for example, isn't that an investment / speculation that Euros will appreciate against the dollar? I am looking for a safe haven, not an investment. Not forever, just to ride things out for a while.
