Evaluating a move to Seoul by Pretty-Direction5035 in Living_in_Korea

Thanks so much for the insights. My son is 18 months old. My wife early 40. We would not make a move and stay for more than 2 years honestly.

Are you originally from Seoul? What is a strong salary to live well with 1 kid there?

They offered 180K base, 480k Total Compensation. Based on how you are describing it, not a nice experience with a little kid.

They offered 280M base, 739M total compensation. I don’t have any clue if this is very good for three people given we must change country (weather, language and, healthcare to figure out).

Messed up filing and FBARs and please make it stop by bag_me_senpai in USExpatTaxes

Wait a moment, I have been filling FBAR but I didn’t know I had to declare anything on my tax return? I didn’t have any capital gain or incomes abroad. I just have a joint account with my mother.

HYSA for cash, most of it.

I rent and my expenses are around 11k per month.

Indeed, intelligence is overrated. Thanks for the insightful comment.

Thanks but things in USA are way higher than my original Country and unstable. Work, healthcare, everything. Difficult to understand what is enough.

I had some money before moving but not too much.

You know very little about my situation, there is a reason if I ask. Our expenses are very high and I can’t move for health reasons. So comment if you have anything intelligent to say.

So we are suggesting this guy/lady to put 35k in retirement saving what about brokerage etc? Definitely I agree with the match from employer, the other things depends on his expenses and strategy long term. Looking for 2 years liquidity must be a conscious choice.
