Sorry to hear OP. Usually, they will stay with one of their relatives to get their bearings and figure out what they want to do once they get there. Maybe you can talk to her about who she will stay with, and see if you can get in contact with them?

The strong support system is awesome and any gifts or personal thank you’s to those helping is always beneficial. If possible, I think if you could take PTO to help her while in Korea it would mean a lot to her and make the transition even easier.

My parents have been divorced for awhile, and my mom feels like she doesn’t really belong in the states anymore for a variety of reasons. Has anyone helped their parents move back? Any pointers on dealing with the transition?

Thanks. We have a lot of family on my moms side still in Seoul and Busan. The strong support network helps.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

I want to buy a large TV for Cyber Monday but have always been lower income. I would feel bad having family over with an expensive TV. I don't really need it. Our house is still very much low budget. I haven't made any real upgrades since getting a new job.

Is this a weird rationalization or logical? I am kind of torn so I considered just using that money for a vacation and maybe buying a TV next year... though I'll likely do this again at that time.
