The thing is I don't really feel the drama. Except for having to live by myself for a few months, I am otherwise very happy. Granted I am not happy with SIL and we will likely never speak again. The taxes I am talking about are a couple million which, if I believed the govt would spend wisely, wouldn't bother me all that much. I think the DDs would spend it better. I understand MB and am greatful for it. It got me here. But there is a round hole that the square peg apparently won't fit in. Being an expat is difficult knowing my country couldn't care less about my wellbeing. Just ask the 1,300 people abandoned in Yemen. Not sure really why they were in Yemen. I have been there a few times and it is not paradise. I work with a few Yeminis and none of them will go back there. I would like to visit Salalah though. Bucket list item (and not in Yemen but close).

So I agree I am concerned about finances. DDs are American. I'm not sure that gemela could even get residence in the USA in the event of my demise. It seems that trying to follow the rules is the worst thing to do. The govt makes everything difficult. Go illegally and everything seems easy. Unfortunately I am (mostlty) a rule follower. If I quit and go back to the USA, I cannot take gemela with me without a green card. I am considering Belize. Gets us all close.

Also, your apocalypse and financial concerns are best addressed by being with your family on arable land.

No disrespect for Apple because no signature. Appreciate your concern however. It does make me wonder though why the other FWs that have been so vocal have been so much on the attack. Makes me wonder what buttons were pushed. Having never been a W or FW, I don't begin to contemplate that mental geography. If they have found happiness, I'm glad for them.

But seriously, I am so greatful for all my many friends on this forum. That includes you M/L even though you refuse to admit it. I really appreciate bigK and, God rest his soul, ToddAC. I love you guys.

Peace out.

The people here are telling you how to implement the plan. That's not being rude or attacking;that's the purpose of this website.

And further, there is no infidelity in my marriage because we follow the plan!
