I explored today and saw that "Kill Bill 2" has many Japanese actors who are active in Japan. I was too busy raising my kids 18 years ago to watch action movies.
I'm a fan now and back to feeling like a young high school student 🙄.

I don't know the details, but
if you are still living in the same building
since 1979 under Rent Control, you would be eligible.

If you move out of a place that is subject to Rent Control,
the room would be out of Rent Control and
the landlord would set the regular rent.

I am a resident of Japan. There is a lot of talk here about how prices in the U.S. are rising rapidly, but I wonder if people living in the U.S. are getting paid in proportion to that ? So even though prices are high, are they not suffering that much?
Are pensioners affected by the high prices? ?
What about those who originally work for low wages ( What about immigrants from Mexico, those living in Compton, etc. ) ?
Are foreign students from Japan doing well? Are they doing well? I wonder if the money they send back to Japan is worth it.

I have not been to the US for a long time, so I was wondering about the current situation.

Since I was young, I started my own business, earned money, and increased my wealth while investing. I wanted to have a family, so I had a child and thought it would be good to be a full-time housewife since I had wealth, so I saved my work, but I felt that only raising children and doing housework was not enough, so I hired a nanny and went back to work. I feel that this is the best fit for me because I am fulfilled with my work, childcare, and private life. I don't need to compare myself with others as long as it suits me.

Is there any difference in treatment in Japanese restaurants vs. American restaurants ?

For example, are tips not given during training, or is the hourly wage different between Gardena, Torrance and others

?

Is there no special rule and is it decided by the owner's way?

Please let me know.

Minimums vary by City, so it is not surprising that the salaries in Torrance and Gardena are lower than in LA.
Minimums also vary depending on the number of employees.

As for the hourly wage, as # 2 mentioned, the minimum hourly wage varies by city and county, and Torrance and Gardena are not LA cities, so the LA County minimum hourly wage is applied. And in reality, many restaurants apply the minimum hourly wage to servers regardless of whether they are Japanese or not. ( Because of tips ? )

, but servers in non-Japanese American ( ? ) restaurants feel that the tips from the customers they serve are theirs, while in Japanese American restaurants, everyone serves the customers they serve. Some places allocate all the tips to each of them, but I think most of the small Japanese American restaurants ( except Benihana, Katana, etc. ) in that area also allocate tips to the people in the kitchens. ( The kitchen staff's share is lower than that of servers )

I don't recall any regulation on this practice, so I think it is decided by each restaurant.

If you are asking a question like the one you are asking, it seems that you don't think the way Japanese-affiliated restaurants do things is good. If that is the case, it would be better for you to work in a non-Japanese American restaurant outside of Asia. However, I have heard that there are often "tip wars" in such restaurants, so please consider which is better for you.

End of life, separation

I am in my 70s, but I hear that some people are already preparing for end-of-life planning in their 50s.

In my case, I created a Family Living Trust when I was in my 60s.

We are now considering purchasing a living grave.

One tricky thing is the separation.

This is the only thing that does not go smoothly. I guess it would be better if I just throw it away, but...

My husband has the can't-throw-it-away syndrome, which is compounded by me. The garage is so full of unimportant things that there is no room to step on

. We also have 5 fruit trees in the backyard that are not very big

and the trees are so tall that we have to cut them down on a ladder, but I'm afraid they will fall off the trees one day...

I would like to hear from people who are doing life-supporting activities and decluttering.

Thank you very much.

If you store them in boxes or clear plastic boxes,
write down what you put in them and put them on the box for easy identification.
It is easy to see even if they are stacked in a closet.
If you have a computer, you can write
living room, bedroom, closet and other storage locations in Excel, etc.
Write the contents and make a list
so you can open Excel and see where the items you need are stored. It is convenient to know where the needed items are stored as soon as you open the Excel file.

End of life, but which is better ?

I've heard that in the U.S. it's hard to have that kind of money, that you need more than $1 million over 10 years to be miserable in a nursing home. So if you move in when you are in your 70s and live to be 90, you would need $2 million.
On the other hand, in Japan, if you have 50 million yen for 10 years, they will take care of you in a decent place. 100 million yen for 20 years.

The current view is to be based in the U.S. until you have some freedom to move around, and then sell to Japan.

The food would be better than the US facility, and since all the kids are back in Japan, they would come to see us once in a while.
What do you all think?

I retired at 55. I will receive a pension from Japan starting next month and from the U.S. next year I will receive a pension from the U.S. I am 61 years old.
90% of my assets are in the US. I have a residence in Japan and live in both.

What are your candid thoughts?

The grass looks greener on the neighbor's lawn.
From Japan, foreign countries look good.
Japanese who live in California have seen many bad things about the U.S.,
so they look at it with a kind of cold eye. They tend to think that Japan is better and they want to live there.
Either way, if you choose one, the other one looks better, so I think it's best to have both.

>>Either way, if you decide on one, the other one looks better, so I think both are best

You may think so when you are young, but
you may not think so when your body can no longer do what you want and your strength is declining.

It's normal for elderly people to look for other places to live if they can't survive in Japan.
It seems they don't know any other country besides Japan.

#65 Neighbor's Lawn,

You are absolutely right. In the past, I came here because I thought the US would be a good place to live, but I could not get a great job because I was not on a proper visa. He came to the U.S. in the past because he thought it would be easier to live here, but he couldn't get a good job because he didn't have the proper visa.

However, he came back to Japan and started working again, saying that he liked the American life better. But he came back to Japan and started to work again. After repeating this, he disappeared. He was a poor man.
