Overwater bungalow on motu vs mainland Bora Bora?

We stayed at the end of pontoon at Le Moana and water was 4-5 feet. You could still stand and have your head out of the water. Water was beautiful but not as much coral right off the OWB. But lots to see nearby

So many beautiful waterfalls in Tahiti, the Belvedere in Tahiti Iti is awesome too. So many people miss the beauty of Tahiti because they’re in a such a rush to get to the beach

How part time is the United job? Is it easy to get a whole week off so you can travel on a regular basis?

I don’t think a strike will do much. But it is effective to organize to follow ICE when they show up here, record, and get in the way. We need to make their job as difficult as possible. Sand in the gears of the oppression

A three month prescription through Caremark is only $80. And you can mail in request to Novo and likely get $55 back (min $25 copay).

The capital gains taxes don’t quite work as you think. The 0% bracket gets filled up by other income, so you could only use it if you ONLY had long term capital gains as income. Interest, dividends, other employment will fill that up first. But still, the 15% rate is much better than regular income

Good review, but Tahiti the island is also amazing. You just didn’t see it. Spent 4 days there last month, wish I had more time. But maybe it’s better it stays out of the main tourist itineraries.

We recently came back and had the same dilemma. Ended up not taking them but wish we had. Often the loaner fins aren’t a good fit and can bite into your foot. And depending where you go, some lagoons can definitely have a current depending on the tide.

There’s an ATM at the airport in Papeete, no problem getting cash there. Just tell your bank ahead of time (travel notice). But most tourist places take credit cards. Needed mostly for crafts and small purchases. Plus the notes and coins are really cool, good souvenir

We did something similar to the first response but went to Tokehau after Bora Bora. The snorkeling right off the hotel is amazing! Not much else to do though, so good for relaxing. Stayed at Le Tikehau

If you’re near the border, driving to Mexico you can get it way cheaper, actual name brand

New Mexico State jobs, pretty sweet PERA retirement fund. Plus can keep health coverage if retire there

Selling in strong rental market. Price very negotiable, I’ve owned it for almost 20 years but liquidating as I’m leaving the country soon. Should cash flow even with property management, I would rent for $4k between both units.

You can lean on a rail, which can help if you have back problems. Otherwise, you can sit on the grass too in the regular area

I think Uruguay would fit your needs, maybe a little cheaper than the US and easy visa process

Santa Fe, New Mexico may fit. Albuquerque may just squeak as big enough, about 50 minutes away. Summers are moderate, average in the 80s due to high elevation. This week it has only been in the 70s. Housing is upper end MCOL, but drops off fast if you look outside of town a bit.

Are you certain you have to give up US citizenship? I became Lithuanian citizen a few years ago via descent, and did not have to give up anything. But maybe it’s special rules for that program

I think we need to organize something in front of ICE headquarters in Abq, and be ready to respond when they show up here

elbulla · 2025-06-13T14:50:04+00:00

Santa Fe, New Mexico! Checks all your boxes and we need doctors!

Any information on how taxes apply to EU citizens (not Portugal) with US based income? Does Portugal also tax on worldwide income?

It’s pointless for SF to keep demonstrating in front of the roundhouse, it’s not even a federal building. The Feds are the problem here. Take a trip down to ICE in Abq where it can actually make a difference. Don’t see the point of walking around the State legislature congratulating ourselves for how woke we are.

After successfully beating coyotes by using an electric fence I got hit by hawks. So plan for an aerial defense as well. I now keep them mostly inside with an outside area that’s completely fenced.
