Several friends had suggested that to me in my traveling days. I had done some investigations too, about long-term visas, business that expats can get involved in w/o too much hassle. For now, I like to focus on trading and learning how to hedge currency risk if USD indeed loses its value in my...

Anyone have some good links to this?

I know of an accountant worked as a supervisor at KFC for $11/hr. A friend is working on outsourcing accounting to India the last few years. I rather learn to trade well than waste my time learning accounting. It is not my thing. I have severe ADHD, not suited for accounting. Trading is...

If a neighbor hires a gardener or babysitter for a couple of hours a week, it is a job too. If u sell Mary Kay cosmetics on commission, that is a job too - even if u have not made any money for the week. That is US employment numbers are counted. So long as you worked - doesn't matter if you...

I just talked a guy who does accounting for fast food franchises. Franchises fees are high, cost of franchise about 200-250k, and you have to have some start up money which is gone if the franchise fails (20% fails), owner works 70 hours a week or more, it comes to about $10/hr when the...

I was a foolish "long-term investor" in the tech crash. Lost most of my assets then. I also spent too much time playing hippie hanging out in different countries instead of working year round in the good times. I don't regret that. What is an ROI? I am not a marketer. I can get some work if...

It takes money to go back to school. I am learning a new skill on my own - if u read my posting. What bennies? Are u kidding? A friend near my age went back to school - for nursing, believing there is one job that cannot be exported. She graduated a year ago. No nursing job for her yet...

Exactly. Thanks for pointing this out. I am a trader with very small capital - not enough to daytrade stocks due to the 25k Reg T requirement. So I am trading fx and micro futures. I am profitable but not making a living yet. I am extra cautious with money management knowing that I cannot make...

Are u kidding? Sad to inform u that the American century is over. Get small? How small? Live under a bridge picking cans? Until turn around? I am afraid there is little chance of turning around for many over 50 now in poverty w/o jobs. A few may get lucky, like getting an inheritance when...

This is one reason I turn to trading too. I did freelance IT work for many years. Things changed after the tech crash but there were still jobs. Now, there is almost nothing for folks my age where I am. I want something I can do at 70 or 90 as long as I have decent health.

You are assuming that there is the capital and the living expense to try again. Very few are so fortunate to have a 2nd chance.

I live in a border town, very easy to cross to the south. Coming back is a hassle. Long lines of immigration checks. I like their grill pork tacos 3 for $1. I don't even need to change the currency. I used to got my prescription meds there, much less than in the USA. Mexico is fun...

U do better if cross the border to the south. I do better in Mexico.
