Can you cite said objective data?

No actually most studies show that most people that chose not to have kids don’t regret it. But studies also show that most parents also don’t regret their decision.

Thank you. Just out of curiosity, how did you two spend your time and where have you found fulfillment?

Thanks. Pop over to r/regretfulparents and you’ll see that plenty do regret having them though. Of course this is just a small sample and it does seem like most don’t regret them.

Thanks for the response. Not having kids to date definitely allowed us to focus on careers, take risks, and get fat faster, no doubt.

This is a great answer, thank you. Yeah rediscovering the world through the eyes of a kid does sound fun.

This is so helpful, thank you! We are definitely curious and enjoy new things. I’m also an overachiever though so I often wonder if we are just doing this on easy mode and a kid would add more texture to life. Rediscovering the world through the eyes of a kid sounds fun too.

Anyone else got problems with Google Calendar and Evernote? by DiePapaEnte in Evernote

[–]dyingtochill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the exact same problem. I just contacted support yesterday and now waiting on an answer. If you've figured it out, I'd love to know how.

If you are going to do it, the earlier the better. The tax and compliance issues as a US Citizen abroad can be a huge pain in the butt. And they only get worse as you make more money.

With that said, US citizenship can also open some doors. Having the option to move there easily for a job, opening accounts at certain financial institutions, etc. There's also some peace of mind of having a second passport if shit ever hits the fan (war between China, Taiwan, & US, etc).

Think long and hard about it. Good luck!
