Reasons to stay in
Korea
- - no
rent/mortgage
- - health
insurance
- - don’t
need a car
- - UNIQLO
(I know that sounds funny, but everything there fits and is cheap)
- - a job
that pays well, is fairly easy (or getting easier), and I enjoy
- - can save
a good amount of money each month
- - I can
afford a fairly comfortable life
Reasons to go back to the US
- - family
- - friends
- - isolated
here
The second list is
shorter, but it certainly weighs on me. But there are certain realities that
make (at least certain items on) the first list weigh in quite a bit, too. I
simply don’t see any prospects for me back in the US. Staying in Korea affords
me the possibility of retiring in about 10 years. To retire at 46 sounds like a
decent prospect, but 10 years is still 10 years. I feel the same as I did in
earlier seasons where planning for the future was easy, but what about the
present?
