Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

    Feel free to not answer because this is identifiable info. However, how did you emigrate? Where to? Did you have a family with you or just yourself?

    Admittedly, while I think America is a shit hole as well, It’s got to get pretty bad before I’ll be able to convince my wife. However, I’m trying to plan out our escape plan.

      Not who you asked the question to, but I emigrated as well. We are very fortunate to have her mother’s side of the family here, so we’re living with them at the moment.

      Sorting through all our life’s possessions and being forced to answer yes or no to ‘do we try to move this to our new home overseas’ was pretty tough.

      The most challenging part was selling the house… We are still sitting on that, sadly. We have a great realtor (I hope), but currently we’re jobless and mortgage every month is gouging into our savings.

      Thank god video games taught me to hoard funds for the OP items in late game 😅 dwindling fast, but couldn’t have done it without them.
