the value of the dollar is decreasing because of inflation. this means that througout time, it will take more money to be as rich as a millionare... because that money is worth less. so one dollar in one hundred years would only be worth 75 cents in today's currency. THE END

The inflation here is America is really starting to take affect, so that means the amount of the dollar is decreasing. The value of the dollar to is about three fourths of what it used to be. So really that's why the prices are going up is because of inflation.

Well right now a dollar is worth a dollar. But every thing around it thanks to inflation is going up so a dollar in todays world will get you more then in 100 years because it would only really only be worth 75 cents in our world.

With our economy going down hill, the value of the dollar is decreasing as well becuase of inflation. It will affect us because you are going to have to pay more for the goods and services you want to buy. Hopefully our economy will start to get back up and it won't be a huge problem in the future.

The value of the dollar is giong down. Things are getting much more expensive all the time. That means that you need more money to have as much as you used to. You used to be able to buy a bottle of pop for 50 cents and now it costs 1.50. This is bad for my future because it means that you will have to make more money to be able to live like we do now.

it is really low compared to what it used to be. I think that our kids and grandkids will be really poor unless something changes. I think that i just should keep my money were it's at and hope something changes.

The value of the dollar is going down. If the dollar keeps on going down, you will need a lot more money to be able to afford something that is at a different price now. The more the value of the dollar goes down, the harder it is going to be to richer.

The value of the dollar is becoming less and less every year. The way that our economy is going down it wont be too long before a dollar would be equal to 75 cents. Inflation rise 3% each year and right now it is rising faster.

Inflation sucks. I am going to have to work a lot harder to make a million dollars. The dollar is going down in value in the international market, so that is no good for us. We as the US, now don't have as much economical power, and it is also harder for Americans to keep a living in other countries like Europe. Soldiers and other people that live in Europe have a hard time living with American dollars.

I believe the dollar is worth really nothing these days. It's only good when you go to basketball games to get only a water for that price. Its only worth 3/4 in a hundred years. So if I was you I would start working now so you can retire at 60 or 70 years old.

Our dollar is worth about 70 cents when it is traded on an international market. This is due to our unstable economy. This lower value just hurts our economy more by decreasing the trading we do. It really is a snowball effect.

The value of the dollar has gone down mostly because of inflation. People are going to really have to pay more for what they want. This will be really hard to just afford the things that you actually need in life to get by.

The value of a dollar is slowly decreasing because of all the money our government is using. We are going into debt and so inflation is taking place which means that prices are rising which is pretty much the same thing as the value of our money going down. There isn't really a way to know what the value of a dollar will end up being but it won't be as much.
