Hey Davidw, good questions. For both, my answer for now is "ride it out and continue to live off of my Italian savings". When there'll be enough money in the US account to make it worth it, or when the money here runs out (whichever comes first), I'll cross the painful bridge of becoming a one-person multi-national. :( I am NOT looking forward to it and I expect to get a sour deal on taxes. It's also not a given that we'll stay in Italy long-term, we are giving it a try for a year or two.
