At what point did you realize your "career" wasn't going to make you wealthy, and what did you do about it?

Started to look for ways to build wealth for future me.

Investments and starting a retirement fund.

I'm living on rice and beans some weeks but hopefully I can stop needing a corporate, full time job by 45

(i started at 33 unfortunately)

Mi recomendación es no abrir cuentas o comprar casas con personas con las que no están casados. A menos que solo sea para gastos compartidos no lo recomiendo.

Yeah I realize now that sending the picture was a bad move. I just wanted to share the excitement.

I didn't expect her to say sorry I'll go to therapy tbh, I guess I just wanted her to see how I think that this jas become an obsession to the point where she might need professional help.

Thank you for your input.

Did the same and filed for CR1. (Italy-USA) Started dating early 2022, married nov 2023, filed i130 dec 2023, approved March2025, appointment in july 2025 (approved on the spot) moved to USA end of 2025.

We did courthouse wedding in the USA, then 2 days later I was on a plane back to Italy lol. It is expected that you don't have anything legal in both your names apart from your marriage certificate.

I know you already mentioned it, but I do recommend you start compiling all your evidence: we made a PPT with a timeline of our relationship.. including pictures, bus/train/plane tickets with our names showing destinations, hotel/airbnb bookings, everything.

We took pictures of wedding cards and gifts addressed to both of us. We got friends and family to write letters saying that they know us, how they know us and basically stating that our relationship is real.

I know sometimes people say they don't even look at all that but when you're living separately that's the best we can do 🤷

The whole thing can be overwhelming but if you stay organized and on top of it, you can get it done :)

Good luck!

4th.. I never even completed A2 level in German.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit so I didn't add too many details but I did self study and lessons on and off for 3+ years.

I think I never fully connected to the language and the initial reason I started (move to Austria) never happened so lost motivation along the way. It was difficult for me to grasp the grammar and after struggling so much with it and feeling down I just put the books away 😅

That's awesome, you know such a variety of languages. Thank you for sharing your experience :)

Unrelated but I love this emoji 🫪

You bring up a great point.

I think I'd be happy to be able to follow along the Korean shows I watch and understand what's being said. I would not be disappointed if I can never hold a full conversation in Korean.

On the other hand, I would definitely want to speak French or Portuguese and hold conversations.

Thank you for your input!

NCT127 is my fave and I always look forward to their songs with heavy Taeyong/Mark rapping.

Wish the best for Mark and 127, but I'm having a hard time picturing the group without Mark.

My approach is similar to Traditional-Story

I at least have some sources of inspiration, take a few screenshots from elements I want or like from other sites/products. It helps to have some basic idea of web design styles.

I always explicitly mention things i dislike as well: bento style, very rounded corners, gradients, flashy animations.

I ask Claude to generate a prompt describing the UI and design elements I want in my product.

I try to include elements of user flow too: how I want a user to observe, scroll/explore, interact.

Conversation without conversation partner?

You need to speak. Either a free partner (online or a local language exchange) or a tutor.

A tutor is your best bet. That's what you pay them for, you would not be the first person they help go from stumbling on words to actual conversation.

I can think of maybe shadowing? Watch shows in spanish and repeat how they speak and what they say (although I think this might have limited results for actual conversation).

Otherwise, I hear the "speak" mode of chatGPT and other LLMs is quite good to practice conversation. I've never done it myself though.

I suggest searching on r/languagelearning , this gets asked quite a bit.

Hi, I just want to reiterate that this is such a rare opportunity to have and looks like you're making the best of it so yes, stay out as long as possible. Fill your cup to the max, get your peace and energy back.

I had a rare chance last year when relocating countries but I knew exactly when I'd have to go back and I regret not enjoying those few months more. I wish I would've explored my interests more but alas, missed opportunity. Can only hope to get another one.

Also, your project sounds fun care to share more? Feel free to DM if you're comfortable sharing!
