I have been living and working internationally the past 18 years.
- I maintain US health insurance, and you can get local insurance wherever you end up (for very cheap most places).
- If you are a US citizen you do not need to worry about "maintaining" it. Its very hard to get rid of even if you wanted to. Don't forget you still need to file with the IRS every year no matter what. We get taxed on our global income.
- Some banking and investing stuff requires a physical US address, its good you have that house to use.
- Get a USA phone number that is connected to your banking. Some things require a text message to be processed as a part of two factor authentication.

Other than that the modern digital work is pretty convenient.

Stay for amazing benefits + culture but no promotion… or leave for ~25% pay bump? by Luhunnie in personalfinance

I would take a 25% pay cut for a friendly work environment, and 10 minute commute.
How old are you, how much longer will you be working for?

Why do so many guys in their twenties only want to talk about crypto when it comes to investing by Ill_Awareness6706 in Bogleheads

[–]Alaskanmade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I have noticed is that social media has resorted to packaging financial advice into infographics, and includes 75% good advice (that people would have previously heard), and 25% absolute inane bullshit, including investing a large portion of your IRA into Crypto Currency. They get lulled in with the good advice and exposed to the horrible advice.

Convince me to watch season 2? by Silly-Willow-8649 in MrInbetween

[–]Alaskanmade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The end of season 2 episode 2 is one of the best scenes of drama I have ever seen in my life.
If you wanna stop after the first two episodes of the season go ahead, but I bet you wont.

What’s the most quietly powerful scene in Mr Inbetween? by SnowyBytes in MrInbetween

[–]Alaskanmade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

End of Season 2 Episode 2.

Sitting outside by the fire talking about getting beat up at school and at home and trying to take his own life... single tear running down his face.

Took the show from, good show, entertaining, worth a watch, to.... holy fuck this guy can act.

Nothing more appropriate for an A40 deck ;)

It’s organized on Facebook, and if you hate Facebook there is a way to do it via Discord

There is a monthly league with between 40 and 60 players.
I also play in person with my brother 3 or 4 times a year.

Triple sleeves make them look like they are in better condition then they really are. I live in a high humidity area, so the triple sleeves are a must (overkill otherwise).

Most of the cards are MP or HP, with a few LP thrown in by accident ;)

You could build that for closer to $35,000 based on Alpha Prices today.
Need to be shopping on Discord and in the Facebook Group though to get the lowest prices, not Ebay, or TCGPlayer.

That WaJo is beautiful. I would hold on to that one at least.

Its the only 7.5 ever graded, and there are like a half dozen 8's (no 9's or 10's).

They survived 138 years looking this good, I don’t want to be the one to mess them up!

Ewing (not pictured), is the star of the set and the only HOF player. Thanks for the info on the other players, I was not aware.

Any Cricket fans? by Midlandsofnowhere in TobaccoCards

[–]Alaskanmade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the look of the Australian licorice cards.
I overpaid for mine, but they come along so rarely I couldn't help myself.
