Have you ever noticed that it’s often much easier to spend money overseas than at home? For instance, I had no problems spending 500 rubles for lunch in Russia (about $20 at that time), but I think twice about spending the same amount in the US. Even the Euro – which lately has been stronger than the dollar – is easier to part with than my own home currency.
What makes foreign money different? Or, rather, why do I react differently to spending other currencies?
