A simple question - maybe not a simple answer - we have approx €150,000 in savings money from an inheritance received a couple of years ago & savings we have made over the years. If the worst comes to the worst & the problems move from Ireland to Portugal to Spain, could the Euro go bust ( I know my terminolgy isn't the proper financial wording & I apologise for that) will all our savings - not just ours but everybodies - be wiped out? Should we consider moving the bulk of it into the US dollar - can we even do that? I'm not to concerned about interest rates at the moment - we would just like some reassurance that it would be safe. It is our nest egg for retirement.
