That’s karma, handing us the same lessons until we graduate to new ones.

Oooh, like when the whole purpose of paying for cable television was no ads?

Would be great if we could donate money to help infrastructure repair so they can cook the food.

Probably. I just meant that’s the mindset of certain men in our area. Certain meaning if they want the trad wife but realize a single income isn’t enough. Or whatever else is convenient, I guess. I’m just going by those I’ve known in a concentrated region, not all men are like that and I’m so glad!

Very welcome! If I travel, I’ve bookmarked this thread so maybe we’ll cross paths in more pleasant places.

It’s even worse than that. They want women to work full time, keep all the housework done, assume all the work with the child after work, while cooking dinner, washing up, stay looking fantastic, never complain and oh, mow the lawn while I’m playing golf/bball/football on Saturday, and don’t forget Suzie has ballet on Wednesday, Bobby has detention on Friday, and football practice on Saturday.

You make it sound so amazing! I could read your stories all day due days if I had no other obligations! If you ever visit southeastern US, and I’m not out of it yet, give me a shout - we’ll do food and beer.

I didn’t notice mistakes, and I agree with your USA assessment. May all your travels continue to bring you joy. Cheers!

Doing the work, spreading the good news. Haha 😆

Thanks. I’m not partial or full retirement age yet and I don’t take any medications beyond aspirin or paracetamol. I’m supposed to, but I don’t have funds for that or insurance either, right now. A lot of the meds I’m okay without anyway, afaict. But this is information I’ll definitely look into. I’m okay being outside the city as long as I can get there or get what I need. I assume public transportation might be available, outside city or suburbs?

Have you ever been to Laos, Cuba or Vietnam? Can you please tell me a bit about any of those you’ve visited? Thanks.

“How would an older person even pay for required documents, let alone a living space, food, utilities, especially being monolingual?” can you clarify this question?

Of course! My apologies, I just meant with the physical challenges, bursitis, arthritis, failing eyesight, etc.

Thanks so much for your answers. I appreciate them.

Thank you, I’ll look into that.

Oops, my brain must have autoconverted “year” to month. That’s… Not good.

do you have a phone? easiest way is to teach English online for 10 hours a month If that’s all you have.

Can I do this from the USA, because every listing I see requires degrees or certifications. Can you toss a few websites my way, please?

How would someone with zero savings move to another country? Most have every barriers of highly skilled, unfilled professions. Like who move from extremely underprivileged nations to extremely wealthy nations often end up surrendering passport and other critical documents to their employers and end up severely mentally and physically abused, sexually abused, trafficked. How would an older person even pay for required documents, let alone a living space, food, utilities, especially being monolingual?

Holy moly! According to this website that’s over £9000 today! And teachers are risking their physical, mental health and lives, today.

Go read Herzl writing about Zionism and Jewish people in general.

Send more weapons and US troops.
