July 1984 – With the dollar spurting to record highs against most of the world’s major currencies, Americans overseas are enjoying a salary windfall: In many Western countries, housing, food and travel are, at the moment, substantially cheaper than at home. But the dollar can trade both ways. “It’s great living at $1.32″ to the pound, said Craig Colberg , an institutional stockbroker for Goldman Sachs International who has lived in London for five years, “but I was here at $2.46 and it was no fun then. Housing then was astronomical compared to New York.”
