The U.S. market is seeing a HUGE dip as a result of Britain's decision to exit the EU. But what does this mean for those of us on this side of the Atlantic?

Brexit is at the top of the news today. Britain has official voted to leave the European Union. 

Because of this, British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will step down.

On this side of the Atlantic, the U.S. stock market reacted with a tumble, as financial institutions figure out what Brexit will mean for the global economy.

We also wanted to take a look at what this means for those us here in the U.S.  Whether you have money invested overseas or not, there's still things you should probably be aware of when it comes to how Brexit can affect you- even if you're just looking to travel to Britain this summer.

To tell us more about that, Take Two's A Martinez spoke with Jim Puzzanghera. He writes about business and economics for the LA Times.
