I've been following the story about the Euro's decline, and while I know this is probably bad for the world's economy, I can't help but consider how this could selfishly benefit me.
If it keeps going down, I may actually be able to afford to take my kids there. I don't want them to be the first generation of Kaempfers to never step foot in the Fatherland.
It would help alleviate my guilt that I never taught them German.*
*That's right, Germans feel guilt too. At least this one does. It's one of my two emotions. (The other one is worry.)
