This Should Be Interesting

So the Korean Economy is really bad right now, which is really bad for us because we get a large sum of money at the end of our contract, which is directly transferred to our accounts in the U.S. If it stays this bad... well, we don't know what we'll be doing in 4 months.

So I thought we could do a little survey. But first you must read the warning:
WARNING - SUBMISSION OF REQUESTS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE WILL DO THEM! In fact, we may do the opposite. It's just a survey, more out of curiosity to see who's really even reading this thing anymore.

So we want to get your opinion. What would you have us do in 3-4 months? Our current plan is to return to Korea after time at home at least through the end of January. We've applied for several university positions here in Korea, but the process to teach at them takes a while. The jobs don't officially start until March 1st. And I really don't mind because I want to see how the economy pans out. Today, the exchange rate was 1,478KRW = $1US. That means that if I wanted to send home 100 dollars then I would have to have 148,000 Korean won. So we're basically paying $1.50 in exchange for a dollar. So... what would you do if you were in our situation? Your thoughts?
