＞ You don't even know about land-based travelers

Yes, this is my first time hearing about it. I haven't traveled domestically at all since I got older, and my trips to Japan were once a year or less

so I haven't accumulated any air miles at all. \I have not accumulated any miles at all.

Yes, I googled it. I found it by searching "Riku Miler" in Japanese.

If you have an Amex, VISA, or MasterCard issued by the airline, you can earn "how many dollars" every time you use the card for everyday purchases, not just air fare. ＝ How many miles?

That being the case, I used that "Land Miler" for about 10 years. I used to fly Delta Air Lines a lot back then, so when I booked online, I used my Delta Amex GoldCard to get cheaper fares in addition to the regular fares. Of course, I used this card a lot because I could earn miles for every dollar I spent on purchases other than fares.

But that's just the way the system works, and of course the Japanese word "Land Miler" never appears on Delta's English website, and I never talked to any Japanese about it, so I had never heard of the term "Land Miler" until now.

The sad thing is that you don't know.
With Land Miler, you can pay the same or even less for
airfare and hotel, and fly first class instead of economy.
You can stay in a 5 star hotel for free instead of a capocel hotel.
You can earn 10x or 5x miles for shopping at Marquette, or get bonus
miles. Various, please do your own research beyond this.

You don't have to worry about Economy Syndrome and can eat at your favorite time in an elegant bed
seat.

＞ Sad to say that I don't know

That's why I said in #12 that I didn't know the term "Land Miler" but had been

enjoying the same benefits with the Delta Amex Gold Card for 10 years. Was my Japanese that difficult?


I recently cancelled my Costco VISA Card because it gives me more points and the Amex card has a $90 annual fee

I get enough
points with the Costco VISA Card to buy an iPad every year.
points come in. I don't make that many big purchases with my credit card. Especially these days

I can't go to Japan.

I hear some people say that working in nursing care at a young age is a waste of time, what do you think?
The pay is low, there is no sense of working for a company, no sense of skill development? I don't feel like I'm working for a company, I don't feel like I'm improving my skills, and I certainly don't feel ...... The pay is low, there is no sense of working for a company, there is no sense of skill development, and there are certainly some things I think about.
I'd like to know what people think, and if anyone is working as a caregiver, I'd like to know their age.

As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.
I have seen and know a lot of the "messiness" and bad aspects of America. However, there are many reasonable and good aspects. The purpose of this topic is to discuss everyday examples, and to get the word out and spread from this place to Japan.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ！ that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ？ Let's discuss anything else.

The quality is high in Japan in every area. The food, the products, the service.
If it weren't for the bad influence of the US, it would be number one in the world by now.

I am already a U.S. citizen, so I have a very different way of thinking from Topix.

To be clear, I don't care how Japan is compared to here or where it is changing.

If I had to say something, I would say that I go to Japan once a year to "seek a nostalgic Japan" and "feel the nature and climate unique to Japan". I have not been able to do so for the past few years, and I am getting frustrated. The only thing that bothers me when I travel to Japan is that credit cards are not widely accepted. People who are in Japan and proud to be Japanese say out loud that Japan is a "very safe country" and no one cares if you have multiple 10,000 yen bills in your wallet sticking out of the back pocket of your pants, and that you won't get robbed.

However, as a long time resident here, I never carry $100 bills and pay for all my purchases with credit cards. I am so accustomed to this that when I travel to Japan, I am inconvenienced by the fact that I cannot pay by credit card everywhere. The best example is the fact that most cases of purchasing Suica and tickets on JR and private railways do not take cards. I've heard that recently there are more and more ticket machines that accept credit cards, but that seems to be mainly at terminal stations in big cities, and if you go even a little bit to the countryside, you are required to pay with cash in almost all of them.

Ikenne, I think I went a little too narrow...

Well, I guess we are both "frogs in the well" as superpowers, so we can't afford to have "big differences" or "disappointments".


"Make Japan a better society. Let's make the "society" we live in better than that.

＞ Mobile Suica

Mobile Suica is also known as "Osaifu-Keitai", right?

Mobile phones available in the U.S. do not have "mobile wallet" function.

Japanese "Osaifu-Keitai" has a chip called FeliCa, which is unique to Japan, and

cell phones with FeliCa chips are not available in the US at all.


This is a stupid idea.

I'm trying to become a nurse.

Nice to meet you.
I'm currently applying for admission to ADN, ABSN, and MCEN programs, but I don't think I'll be able to do it this semester, so I'd like your advice.
The current situation is as follows.

I have a BA from UCSD
Anatomy&Microbiology is B
Physiology is A
TEAS 85%
Medical Terminology is done.
Pharmacology has been completed.
I have CNA
I have worked in a hospital for over a year

I have taken about 10 schools this semester and have not been accepted by any of them yet.
I am preparing again for next semester, but anyway, the ratio is too high.

Is there any way to make it easier to get in ？
If I get into Second Degree or Entry Master, what percentage of scholarship etc. will I get ？
I took it this time anyway. I took it this time, but I don't think I will take it next time unless I get some assistance because it is very expensive.

I would also like to put LVN into shear, is there any reasonable school ？

I would appreciate any advice you can give me. I am depressed by the harsh reality and my inability to do so.

I have wondered about this for a long time. Politicians are the same, but
the ones you see on the news, etc., who play the good guy and end up being the culprit.
What is the character of those who lie without hesitation, even at work
I want to be careful.

Is life insurance a good investment?

Question
#1
  • 教えて下さい。
  • mail
  • 2022/01/11 10:12

Until recently, I have been living paycheck to paycheck, so I have not invested much in the way of investments. I started a side business last year that allows me to earn a steady income every month, so I am now studying to invest my surplus money.

The quickest investment I could think of was life insurance.

However, I am somewhat skeptical about life insurance because I strongly remember advice I heard from someone about 10 years ago that life insurance and investments should not be mixed, and that life insurance is not an investment.

I have seen online and Youtuber's explanations that Whole life insurance has a real annual interest rate of about 1.5-2% after deducting commissions and expenses, as the premium in the monthly amount you pay increases with age and the amount going to investments decreases as you get closer to maturity. Another disadvantage is that in the event of the death of the insured person, the insured person only receives the Death Benefit, not the accumulated money.

I have a wife and children, so I need the Death Benefit, so I think it would be better to have a Death Benefit of about 100 million yen in Term Life Insurance and invest the other money in ETFs, BOND, SP500, Roth IRAs, Crypto, etc. I think it is better to invest other money in ETF, BOND, SP500, Roth IRA, Crypto, etc. at this stage.

Is life insurance a good investment, although each individual is different depending on family circumstances and income?
Please let me know.
