Well, we in BrE are more likely to talk about pounds, rather than dollars! However, we would say... 1. I am £200 worse off. 2. I am £200 better off, or I am £200 to the good. We never say "I am £200 to the bad."!!! Regards    TeacherBrian Joined on Thu, Nov 24 2005 somewhere in Wingland, Otland or Scales Junior Member (95) Brian M.
