On the surface my cash-flow is starting to really take a hit.  I have been doing all of my work in US dollars, and since I haven’t had to pay for any services in the last while I haven’t had the chance to take advantage of the strong US dollar.  However on the other hand I am making about 15% less than I was 6 months ago simply because the US dollar has become so weak against my native currency the CAD.  They are actually trading on pare where I set my prices when they were about .85-1

Now I am not sure what I am going to do about it.  Should I start to buy more services and get ahead on any of the ideas that I have with my current bankroll, or should I try to raise the cost of my own services to recover the cost of the falling US? 

I really thought that I was going to have till at least the new year before I was going to have to start thinking about this.  It is amazing how the greed in the financial world can take down the entire system when people start to bite off well more than they are able to chew.
