Is it worth getting some euros now? Wife is going away June or should I wait?

crap at this sort of thing like, so any advice? Oh and how you get the good rates, quick check online for holiday money doesn't have the 1.20 rates anywhere

Get yourself a Revolut card (pre-pay € card), and top it up by monthly standing orders each month over the year. Benefits are:
  1. You get a great exchange rate with Revolut
  2. You can spread your holiday money payments over the year, so probably won't notice not having that money
  3. You'll not have to attempt to become a currency trader and "time the market", reducing your worry about getting the best rate
  4. You'll automatically become great at "this sort of thing"
  5. One more thing removed from your "todo" list every year, as it'll never have to appear again

The metropolitan Liberal Boris at the helm, BRINO getting done, the pound soaring and the ERG being told to fuck off.

This is tremendous.

That’s a great idea, we are going to do this for a holiday next year.

Does a revolut card have any inactivity charges please? We would be adding monthly but won’t use it until July.

I've had one for 3 years now, they're brilliant. Going to India in January and you can use them over there instead of cash in most places and the exchange rate is better than you'd get with cash.

Is there much of a difference between revolut and something like fairfx?

I've got both and revolut is better.
