Find the shittiest house you can on the best piece of land and hold it for 30+ years and you should be fine.

My scam senses were tingling before I got to the comments. Most likely this is a routine NGO/EDU/Gov scam backed by an aggressive and shiny sales approach.

Sure, Montreal is pretty lame IMO. Assuming you're in software why don't you make the move? As a Canadian citizen you can easily get TN status at the border.

that's the culture of most of the country once you get out of Cali and northeast. also, why should good living standards only apply to those with "elite jobs?" it's a rich country.

Have you looked into the rent and taxes in NYC? As a determined single person chasing FIRE you probably could pull off some arbitrage by renting a room somewhere far, but a more reasonable lifestyle and raising a family, I doubt it.

Heh, yeah. It is hard enough to have a dog without family around, I don't know how people do it with kids. If grandparents are willing to help you save a ton on childcare and both parents can continue to work, which increases your inco

Believe me I don't mean this with any offense and condescension. But you do need to live in NYC for a few years to decide. Most who do this will end up leaving, but some really love it and give 100% effort to never leave it. I would sa

that's the biggest con, lack of Amazon Prime, but probably because Amazon couldn't get away with the way they treat workers if they built distribution centers there, there are high wages and strong labor laws and Amazon likes to a

One thing to note is the accessibility and convenience of the events in Melbourne. The MCG and other stadiums/arenas are all in a big complex right in the heart of the city, with easy train, tram, bike, and walking access, and this inc

Portsea Back Beach (and surrounds) on a hot, clear day is one of the nicest beaches I've ever seen, with the benefit of bay beaches 5 minutes away if you prefer that, this is only an hour or so from southeast suburbs of Melbourne, and

Recently more interest as Vancouver turned against foreign buyers with new taxes. However, the strong USD should clamp down a bit. Seattle also has strong local demand though, for now.

Yep, been here four years too and leaving (I never dreamed of it though - my partner did). Especially good point about the healthcare issues here (independent of the broader US healthcare issues), it's really difficult to deal with. Fu

Will it ever feel comfortable? I'm in the same position as you, on the brink of moving far away (not Taiwan), but the anxiety of going somewhere new (possibly permanently!) so far from family always restrains me.

Which is not so bad always. I know of many Americans who went to higher col places but saved more than before. High prices push you to be more disciplined with spending: pack your lunch, use less energy, take public transportation, buy less

I don't mind it even if it's all to sell to foreigners, but I do mind when they don't rent it out and the apartments are built horribly, with major defects, unlivable sizes, paper thin walls etc because the overseas buyers do

Sounds a lot like what's been happening in Melbourne for a decade now. Lessons to be learned there.

I'm not obligated to provide a "source." It's called an opinion. If one seeks merely a "fresh start," then just move somewhere else in the USA. If frustrated with the government, politics, culture of the USA, t

It's not just with Germany, I believe it will connect through Central Asia to Spain. Central and South Asia are the key. They're using this to project influence across these countries to eventually form alliances and sway them fro

The entire thing has been a politicized distraction and propaganda campaign ... the level of discourse in America is now at a terrifying and dangerous quality; we used to mock the propaganda of the Soviets, China, etc. but we are descending

This is a silly off-topic request, but any chance someone knows of a theme (ideally Wordpress) that looks like this page? I actually really like it and could use it for my next project.

Because people think these SUVs are "safer" due to their size. And then it becomes an arms race; you see the highway full of large SUVs, and you feel vulnerable in a tiny compact car, because you think they will crush you in a col

Tipping is truly one of the stupidest aspects of American society. It's unfair to both the worker and the customer.
