Living in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada .. everything is in Canadian Dollars. That is our local Currency and everything that goes with our “offline” lives.

However, online, I get paid in U.S Dollars .. Although, only a small portion actually goes into my Canadian Bank account (I transfer my Google Adsense only – as the rest is left in my Paypal account and put back to finance my online activities also in USD$) .. I did receive an extra $79.86 CDN today on my Google Payout of $426.77 USD. WooHoo!

That’s great! Because .. well, I spent $160.00 CDN for plumbing repairs today :D So, it helps!
