Vacation

I leave tonight for a five day vacation to France where I am sure I will be shocked by the exchange rates. A co-worker told me to use my ATM card overseas as that is where I will get the best rates. I have also alerted Amex, Citibank and my bank to let them know I will be traveling overseas so that my accounts won’t be locked if I try to use them.
I am bringing lots of little snacks to save money and just in case I don’t like the food.
Today is another down day on the stock market but I don’t mind because I have 401k deposit of more than $1,600 going into my account today. I would rather buy the funds cheap and watch them go up later. I am hoping to invest $10,000 in my account this year and will max it out next year. I was hoping to max it this year but my budget just won’t allow it
