For small amounts, WISE use is a good choice, but for larger amounts, the fees are lower from the bank.
If the amount exceeds 1.1 million yen per year, the recipient will be subject to transfer tax on the excess amount.

I put it in my brother's Sony Bank foreign currency deposit （ at a good rate ） and he sends me monthly living expenses from there.
If it is properly used for living expenses, there is no gift tax.
For example, if the money sent is not used by the parents and is saved, it is considered to be a "transfer of assets, not living expenses" and gift tax may be incurred. Please be careful not to send large sums of money in one lump sum.

For large amounts, bank transfers can only be sent in several installments, each time incurring a fee
WISE can send the money in one shot, so it's cheaper.

Thank you all ！
I saw Oterita's post and thought,
Is it possible to put the money into a foreign currency deposit in my bank account that I left in Japan and have my family card withdraw it from there ？
Even though it is my own account, I am not sure how much it will cost since it is from overseas. I don't know how much it would cost, since the money is transferred from overseas, even though it is my own account.

Calling from the U.S. to Japan
SIM card with international calling plan American carriers （ e.g. ： T-Mobile, AT&T ） may offer plans that include international calling to Japan. Please check with your cellular company.

VoIP apps Skype, Google Voice, and LINE call features allow you to call Japanese mobiles and landlines at very low cost if you have a Wi-Fi connection.

Prepaid International Phone Cards Buying a card with low calling rates is another option. However, as you mentioned in the past, please note that the balance may expire or expire while not in use.

How to receive calls from elementary schools
If you set up an online number such as Google Voice, you can receive calls in the U.S. similar to Japanese numbers. However, you need to make sure that the elementary school has no problem with you calling the international number.

You can also register a family member or friend as a substitute contact and have them contact you if necessary.

Thank you very much for your kind detail, Hirorin.

As for #7, are you saying that you can also call a landline from LINE ？ I've never done anything other than call your friend on VOICE, but if you're calling a landline, then you can call someone who is not your friend ？ if so. I'd appreciate it.

I paid $ 5 for an app called Viber, but I couldn't figure out how to call it in either Japanese or English, so ＄ 5 left. No matter how many times I try ＆ it doesn't work and the money doesn't decrease, so I've left it alone.

I actually bought an eSIM for #8 last year, but my iPhone won't Unlock and I haven't used it. This year I am planning to get a new phone before I go back home, so if I have last year's eSIM, it means I can get a cell phone. ？ The eSIM is still usable without even activating it.

#9 I can't tell the school or store to call me internationally, so I guess eSIM is the best. ？

I'm not good at this kind of work and searching, so there are many times when I end up buying something but not using it. I am not good at this kind of work and search, but I can't use it even though I bought it.

To put it bluntly, it sucks. You pay for your own insurance, gas to your destination and gas back home ． they deduct 20% or more ． drunks, non-smokers, overcrowding ． vomit, dirt, hurt yourself, blood ． old cars get complaints ．

Ubering may be useful if you need cash now ？
or want to make a little money in your spare time. Or you're looking for a job.
I don't think it should be a regular job.
If it's the same driver job, I think it should be Access or something.
For Access Taxi, they pay $ 30 per passenger, regardless of distance or time required.
It is a shared ride, so up to 3 people can be picked up at a time. They are always loading and unloading and have a good turnover.
I'm a user, but looking at what the drivers make, I'd say they usually make $ 200 for a morning's work.
Of course you have to subtract expenses from that, but everyone says it's a good job and Uber is stupid.
You have the freedom to take the next day off if you want. For a full time employee, they pay $ 27 an hour ？ I think.

Restaurants were not allowed to eat or drink inside and you could not order inside, so you ordered at the entrance, waited outside
and when it was ready, you just got it and left.
Not many people went all the way to order, so they ordered with Uber Eats and had it delivered.
I was making about $2000 a week.

It was decades ago when we were Topi's age.

We were lucky enough to have good pocketbooks then and bought a house. Many of our neighbors had children in the lower grades of elementary school, and many of them went to the same elementary school, so we, as newcomers, were able to get to know our neighbors easily through our children.

Other parents also felt safe because their children were playing in their neighbors' yards and on nearby streets.

Sorry, for all the useless talk. I still live in a quiet residential neighborhood off a busy main street with heavy car traffic, and I'm sure there is one in several homes with elementary school children, but I don't see kids playing outside in the street. Have times changed a lot, or are the kids also playing on the internet inside the house?

Yes, if your children can play online, let them play with their friends from the same school through the Internet. You will have to monitor the content from time to time, though. In addition, you could let them go to the friend's house or ask them to come over.

As I write this, I realize that times have changed dramatically. My granddaughter is now going to UC San Bernardino, which is over 2 hours away by car or train; UCLA was too difficult and Community College, which is in a walkable city, was too low.

Nice to meet you ^^
I know it's hard to know how to spend every school vacation.
We also have a 1st grader, and like the Lord, my husband is working so it's just the two of us. I've already decided that I'm not going to spend time with my child and I'm just going to be lazy everyday lol My child is usually busy with school, so I thought it would be nice to have a change of pace once in a while.
We often watch movies together or draw pictures. After that, we have picnics at the park, hang out at the mall, etc.
Lately she seems to be interested in baking sweets, so I'm thinking of making a cake or something for this spring vacation.
Wishing you a happy spring vacation ♪!

♪ Making cakes is nice ！ It is good to do something that we usually want to do but haven't been able to do yet, rather than saying we have to go outside ！

I always thought I had to take them somewhere, but it is true that there are things we can do together at home. ！ I would like to try making a cake with them because they have been wanting to make a cake too.

As for picnics, I forgot that we used to make lunch boxes and eat them in the back yard when we had the Corona Disaster, which was a picnic of sorts. It was nice to be able to enjoy a different day in a nearby park and do something we don't always do like that ！ Thank you 😊.

I have children. Fortunately, my marriage is going well.

I don't think I'd put love first when there are children, either.
However, I wrote this because I thought that forcing a couple to stay together when they are not getting along is bad for the children's psyche after hearing my friend's story.

When I was in middle school, there was talk of my parents divorcing because of my father's infidelity.
My mother decided not to divorce my children until they were grown up, not wanting them to be poor. My mother, who worked hard to raise my children, even though my father still pushed her around, is still someone I truly admire. I have come full circle and now take care of my sick father. I think it's not bad to go through rough times. Maybe it's old-fashioned, but there are good times and bad times. I thought that only couples who choose not to separate can know what the future holds for the rest of their marriage.
