What is it like to be an Uber driver ？?

I was recently looking for a side job and noticed what Uber drivers are like.
I only use them a few times a year, and when I do, I talk to some of the drivers and some say they are good, while others say they are not so good.
If anyone is actually an Uber driver, it would be great if you could tell us how many hours you operate and how much money you make and how you feel about it.

Pensioners have pensions and real estate income from both Japan and the U.S. and

a bank account that pays too much interest every month, even after withdrawals

and the balance never goes down

they do not have to willingly live in extreme poverty

Pension from Japan is not withdrawn as soon as it is deposited

You intentionally leave it untouched for a year

You no longer have too much money

You are a self-styled do-it-yourself homeless person

I have to withdraw my IRA I have to, but
the amount of annual dividends coming in is more than the amount of annual withdrawals, so it's positive and doesn't decrease.

IRAs are deposited monthly, but
half of them are also deposited into a separate account from the IRA.

I called in July of 2023 and asked
if I retire, I can no longer deposit into my IRA account.
The amount I was depositing into my IRA account each year would become income.

I called and asked if I could withdraw money from my IRA account if I couldn't deposit it
they calculated it and told me how much I could withdraw each month
they also said I could withdraw more if I wanted.

There are two types of pensions in Japan, basic pension and welfare pension ＄ 25x2 with a $50 fee every 2 months.

I found ＄ $10 fee at a Korean bank.
This makes sense because they only deduct $20 every two months.

Receiving annuities is a bank in another country with lower fees.
I will still use US Bank for online banking.

I don't go out of my way to withdraw it, so I can save a lot if I leave it for a year.
I'll think about how to use it after a year now.

I will save my pension from Japan if I can transfer it to buy a new Prius battery.

I have to leave the car for 2 days at the dealer for the price and installation fee, but
the place I was referred to can finish the installation in about 4 hours.

The Showa era fathers were extremely poor, so they could live on a budget and play on Sundays every day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're driving a Prius. Don't get into an accident. Why does that mean there are so many accidents?
Here in the US, SUV cars are the ones that have the most accidents.

Early elementary school students What are you doing during spring break ？?

Spring break is coming up, what are you guys doing ？

My husband is working, so we are spending time together as mother and daughter. But every time we spend it, we don't really do anything special and I feel like it's a waste of time.

My daughter has calmed down since she started elementary school, so I think it would be nice to go away, but I am worried about her, so we always end up not going.

How do you all spend your time ？?

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example ：
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

I recently finished getting my Real ID and renewing my driver's license over the internet.

The new license will be in the mail in a couple of weeks.

I opted for the Real ID / DL combo which is easier to handle.

CostcoVISA Card will be billed for the cost. These days, I don't have to wait in line for over an hour at the DMV office, I can do it all from the comfort of my chair at home. It's an easy world now.

Otsu,


That's right. I entered through the portal below and proceeded with the License / Real ID combo and everything was done online.

So, as mentioned above, the License / Real ID combo will arrive in the mail.


https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/


It would have been bad if I had to actually go to the DMV office for a written exam and eye test.

As for Real ID, you have to include US Passport information.

It would be better for society if old people who can only drive in a way that hinders the economic activities of society should quickly return their licenses.
They should contribute to the youth and society by using Uber and public transportation.

How many elderly people of Japanese descent are living in LA? We would be happy to be a place of rest and relaxation for the elderly who use the Koryu Hiroba. We think the eligibility is from 65 years old and up.

Psychological abuse of narcissistic/Asperger's partner

Is there anyone in a similar situation ？
・ Don't apologize even if you are at fault, blame the other person
・ All responsibility lies with your partner
・ You may be good but your partner should not do the same
(I When I get angry, they tell me to control my feelings and not to get angry no matter what. But it's okay for my partner to be angry. Because I'm not able to do it.)

I could go on and on counting. I know there are trolls and messages telling me to break up with them, but I'd love to hear real life experiences from people in similar situations.

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person.　Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Do you think more people have engage in adultery more afte the pandemic since people were home more often?

Not gonna lie. Not really happy in my marriage but can’t divorce my wife. Is there a lot of Japanese married women that engage in adultery? How and where do they look if I would assume most work from home or take care of the home?

My nephew in Japan asked me, "Is it safe to use private tours in Los Angeles ？?
I was surprised to find some pages that clearly did not have a business license.
I asked the president of a tour company I know, and he said, "All the ones that don't have a permit are illegal.
I thought Japanese people follow the rules, but I guess this is the times we live in.
