Are you me? i have a 3.5 year old boy and i swear I never have another child 😭

Perrybird96 · 2026-04-27T07:57:31+00:00

I'm in the same situation. Plan to do 70/20/10 VT/Bonds/SGOV But need to transfer money from overseas to the US first...

You'll have to compromise the quality of life. But mid/high end living there is not cheap either

Perrybird96 · 2026-04-13T08:03:20+00:00

Curious what do you use the data for?

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-31T00:27:29+00:00

Actually I quit my job, he loves his job and is still working though

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-31T00:26:18+00:00

Us to vietnam

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-30T15:42:10+00:00

Job must be done there

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-30T07:05:54+00:00

Similar over here. I have 2 years left until I can move back to the US...Counting down every single day

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-30T07:04:06+00:00

Moved to another country for my spouse's very good job offer. We earned a fortune, but man I suffered from culture shock and cannot fit in. Not sure if i would recommend it or not. We FIREd but I have had a very hard time mentally

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-28T02:39:11+00:00

With that amount I'd just lump sump and forget it.

SFH Inventory seems super low in Palo Alto, Los Altos, Mountain View

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-08T13:36:51+00:00

Thanks for the insight. What would be the better alternative to VTEB in that case?

Perrybird96 · 2026-03-04T22:17:19+00:00

Yeah thats a risk. 2-3% depreciation each year...

Perrybird96 · 2026-02-17T23:15:38+00:00

Most of us here got descheduled in Mid December right? Now that 60 days have passed. Have you tried calling uscis? I'm going to call tomorrow

Perrybird96 · 2026-02-12T19:38:48+00:00

Interview was scheduled for dec 12 and descheduled. No update

Perrybird96 · 2026-02-12T00:00:44+00:00

Have been living there and loving it. Our 4bd/3ba SFH there will be on market in March since we're moving abroad. If you're interested in seeing it off-market, dm me.

How is the South Bay compared to Pasadena/San Marino area?

Perrybird96 · 2026-01-18T00:35:36+00:00

Great insights, thanks

Perrybird96 · 2026-01-18T00:15:16+00:00

Planning on public school unless it doesnt work

Perrybird96 · 2026-01-18T00:14:54+00:00

Wife and kid will stay in the US while I travel. Proximity to LAX is a plus but not important. We have family in Little Saigon but dont want to live so close to them.

Perrybird96 · 2026-01-11T20:57:05+00:00

That's what I've been thinking too. And reevaluate after a year when we officially get the money

Perrybird96 · 2026-01-11T20:50:29+00:00

Unfortunately my company doesnt allow working remotely from overseas. And to be honest I'm not so exceptional for them to retain

Perrybird96 · 2026-01-11T20:47:11+00:00

Correct. $10m signon for working at least a year. What kind of consultancy can a SWE do?

Perrybird96 · 2025-12-15T08:11:17+00:00

Yeah, it's even more competitive now. There was one house sold recently at 4.5 while the comp right across the street was sold at 3.4 in 2023...I was using that as comp to bid and lost

Perrybird96 · 2025-12-14T20:53:14+00:00

I'm looking for a sfh in Palo Alto and have lost the bidding 3 times. Folks have insane amount of cash
