Chuckie,
I care because I am a cheap SOB. I watch every penny. I love it. It's my hobby. I quantify everything. On my frequent trips to La Paz, I spend
from $400 USD to $1200 USD not including airfare. By watching the exchange rate and utilizing an on hand bank of $20,000 MXN, I can usually save from
$20 USD to $60 USD per trip. That's $160 to $480 USD per year. Couple that with using a B of A Atm card at Santander bank so that I do not have to
pay any withdrawal fees and I get a really good exchange rate, the savings are even more by multiples.
You know, $20 USD can buy 3 big Sonora rib eye steaks at Walmart or a Sunday champagne brunch at Palermos followed by a c-cktail at Tailhunters.
Just figured out what "IDGAFFWYT" stands for...very cool. Still working on "LMASOROTF".

You must have had a pistol in your hand, Chuckie. I didn't know you could get that much.
Which ATM was it?

Why is that any of your business? More obfuscation? You cant even buy tires, without whining about them.....As to which ATM? I have heard all the
sniveling about ATMS I ever need to hear.....That also is non germain....Dennis?Maybe I made 10 withdrawals of a 1000 pesos each? But youll never know
will ya....Smartburro David E? What was the effect of my transaction? Never mind, you prolly couldnt figure it out any way..I DID NOt buy calcium
chloride to put on pickles.....does that help?...

My idea of a "ride for a peso" is getting on a bus in Baja back in the 1960's........now, that was a ride for the peso! beat any amusement park I
had ever been to!

That would make their 80 Peso fee acceptable, I suppose.
Thanks, Bob.

From my experience from SafeSend and wire transfers....BofA makes their money on the exchange spread. Their exchange rates are much worse than my
credit union....no fees but a lower exchange rate...so for me...it all depends on how much money I withdraw...in reality, though,....I just take out
the money....why are we b-tching about a few dollars here or there....

Dennis just doesnt get it.....he keeps trying to get people to focus on chump change to divert attention from the fact that all of this foolery on the
peso fluctuation that no one can do anything about, makes little or no difference in the day to day course of business. ATM fees? 80 peso charge? So
what? To repeat myself yet again..I dont care...

Chuckie...
If YOU DON'T CARE...
Why are you WASTING TIME on this thread? Let's say a hammock salesman hits me up on the beach. I just politely say "Gracias,no" walk away and continue
on. I won't stand there and give him a dissertation as to why I DON'T CARE to buy one.

I guess you can "not care" but still have to have the last word?

I care about chump change a lot. But, I also appreciate what Chuckie has to say and how he stands up for his point of view by providing a rationale.
Also, his points of view are not rare, but are shared by many.
