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

That people are so hell bent on spending more money to do the worst* possible things rather than just doing the right things in 2024 blows my mind.
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.
