I have a wedding in Mexico coming up this summer, and have to pay for the wedding in USD. When the dollar was closer to 0.75, I held out, hoping it would get better, and now it's much worse. As you can tell, that's worked out well for me.
I need to pay for the wedding in USD by mid-April, and I'm wondering where the best place to buy the USD is, and should I hold out longer, or buy now. I'm looking at approx 10k USD. I was thinking of getting half now, and holding out for closer to April to pick up the other half.
I have a US Bank account w/ RBC, but the rates aren't super amazingly favourable, so I'm curious if there's a better place/method to buy USD?
As much as I'd love to postpone it until the USD is better, this is already close to a year in the works, with all the time and travel booked and paid for, so it's not an option at this point. I'll just have to swallow the pain and pay for it, but I'd like to "save" where I can.
