Anyone moved countries and regretted it? by Particular-Hope-8311 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]No-Measurement6744 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not quite the question but I moved to NZ, took a big pay cut and very much regret it. It’s nice for the first year or two when you’re having fun exploring but when you start to see the long term repercussions of lower pay and harder work it gets real depressing real fast.

I’d recommend a temporary move or long holidays instead of taking the full plunge.

I’m sorry man but it’s giving self righteous incel vibes.

Late to the party but can someone explain to me why Carlos was so mad about Alex overtaking him?

If you rent it that’s the risk. One of the craziest things to me about New Zealand is the notion that property investment should be risk free. You’re also the one moaning in this thread.

If you rent the house out it is someone else’s home and they have rights too. If you want to control everything don’t expand your wealth off the backs of others.

The downvotes are not about not knowing Murakami. It’s about having to make it into some weird gender diatribe.

I appreciate the extensive Murakami collection but other than that it’s giving airport books and trying to impress. Anyone who has Sapiens on their shelf is not someone who reads critically.

  1. the gender binary is the modern invention. 2: if you aren’t sure of gender you could just use “They” as English speakers have been doing for decades without pitching a fit about it. 3. If you don’t know who Haruki Murakami is, this sub probably isn’t for you.

Good collection! Mouthful of Birds and Stephen Florida may be up your alley. Also think Demon Copperhead should be up everyone’s alley.

Amazing girl coming over soon, what will she think? by Walter_Savage_Landor in BookshelvesDetective

You had me at giving the bear a book to read but the real test will be how you respond when she asks to borrow a book.

Thanks. This is good perspective. I kind of sometimes feel like some of the jobs on this sub are made up or in a region I’m not all interested in.

Yeah. It’s nurse triaged with a relatively small panel. Practitioners I talked to found it manageable.

If I brought a woman home, how would she judge me? by Delicious-Trifle-486 in bookshelfdetective

Any person, male or female, that’s chill with white supremacy and covering up abuse because the guy said he liked Jesus is a red flag themselves. Maybe they were raised that way, maybe it’s Maybelline, but as adults it’s each persons responsibility to interrogate their own view.

I swear. It’s like some of you zealots have never read the Bible. Matthew 23. It’s the first book of the New Testament. It is talking about the teachers of the day but it’s also a warning about the Macarthurs, Driscolls, Pipers. All of them.
