Anyone have experience moving your whole family to another country? Are there things you wish you would have known or considered? Potentially from NA to Asia

We moved to Korea when I was a teen-ager. It was a great experience. Highly recommend an international move.

Moved with my family from US to London a couple years ago for 6 months. It was a great experience, but as it was a short term move, not as many logistical issues as a permanent move.

I'm thinking through what we might do with our home.. I would like to keep it and would prefer not to rent it out..

Is your SO from there? How old are your kids? Is your firm willing to pay you enough to cover the mortgage and such?

Moved from NA to Europe when I was 15. Fantastic. My sister was 12 at the time and it sucked for her. Our younger siblings loved it. Look up "third culture" kids if you will stay long enough for them to adjust. It happens pretty quickly.

It’s my birthday in a few minutes. 2021 has been a terrible year for me. My marriage ended. It wasn’t a bad end though. We are still close, just not romantic partners anymore. The very first dog I ever had died and I couldn’t go see her because of the quarantine. I didn’t get a promotion that I more than deserved. I don’t think I get paid well. Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.
