This is my first time on this board and I've come to you because I don't know shit about finance.
I have about 1 million JPY in cash in the US.
I have about 17K USD owed in student loans, about half of which is at a 6% interest rate and the other half is 3%.
I've been paying 200 USD a month because I didn't have much money in my US bank account and I wanted to stretch it until I was able to get some cash back in the US.
What should I be looking to do here in terms of timing my currency exchange. From what I understand the current exchange rate is garbage for me, but because I have to pay my loan off I'm under some pressure to have USd available. I can wait a bit but not until 2020 or whatever.
tl;dr when's an optimal time to change JPY to USD soonish

It's like you're asking to be fucked over.

Do you have paypal? Gibme dat money
The potential volatility in the currency market should make you wait until the dollar falls. Also consider a bounce around, buy commodities with the yen and sell them in dollars

Is there no better exchange rate in sight?
Do I just bite the bullet and do it now?
