My daughter will be enrolled in Kindergarten in El Marino next month. However, the After School ( After School ) programs ( CCUSD, CCARP, iVERBE Ǿ) are all full and on Waitlist. Are there any other after school care or nanny share programs that you are considering? I live in Culver City.

I feel like we are about to start a recession. I am worried every day about how long it will take to recover.
I would like to know what I should do to prepare for the future based on your previous examples.

I still haven't bought a house and my rent and living expenses have skyrocketed
I am struggling to make ends meet every month.

Please advise me.

If you are unsure, just earn it. Any way you can. You don't understand that you are in a situation now where you have to worry because you have never taken any action just to say you are worried. But there are many people like this, or rather most of them, and they never act.

I heard that alkaline water is good, so if anyone has used it, could you please tell me which product I should buy ? I looked on Amazon and found Aqua Ionizer Deluxe $ 800, Panasonic Alkaline Ionizer Water Charter Pearl White TK-AS30 - W $ 300, and I am thinking of choosing Panasonic because of the price and the Panasonic name. I don't think I can tell the difference between the two, but since I drink water, I would like to drink something that is good for my health anyway.

It is said that a person can run for office even if he or she is not in Japan, and that campaigning can be done online. If he becomes a member of the Diet, he will be able to return to Japan during the period when the Diet is in session, because he will have the right of arrest. That seems to be one of the reasons why he is running for office.
He has 1.23 million subscribers on YouTube.

Hi

I'm going back to Japan temporarily this month
I have a 5 year old child and I heard that a negative certificate is not required for children under 6
A corona test is also not required ?
I checked the FAQ on water border control and it seems a little

how did you find it if you have children under 6 years old ?
if you have any information, I would be happy to exchange information here
thank you in advance!

When I left the U.S., I was asked to present the certificate at the check-in counter and the gate, and I was seriously checked. When I left the U.S., I was asked to show it at the check-in counter and at the gate and was seriously checked.

I had a PCR check at CVS Walgreens. It may depend on the time of the year, but the results came out faster at Walgreens.

② -1 Inspection certificate for children
We request that children also obtain an inspection certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not have a system of inspection for children who are not yet in school, the quarantine service, after asking about individual circumstances, may require a child ( generally under 6 years of age ) who enters the country accompanied by a parent or other caregiver who lives with him or her to have a negative test certificate. If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate.

> I really want to remove the tree from the roots,

When you say "the roots" do you mean the part of the tree that is above ground from the ground? Or do you want to remove all of the underground roots? This will make a big difference in the amount of work. If you want to remove only the above-ground portion of the tree, you should buy a chainsaw and cut the roots yourself rather than paying a contractor to do it. You don't have to go up high on a ladder.

It will cost you time (days), but the whole tree that you cut off in a snap can be shredded with the same chainsaw and a big pair of scissors to cut branches, and it will go into the green city dumpster, and you can have it taken away little by little over many weeks.

Life isn't so interesting if you're just trying to get "good luck".

Thank you for your help !

I am currently in the process of applying for permanent residency with Adjustment of Status ≪(I did not initially intend to live in the US, but due to the Corona situation I decided it would be better to relocate to the US )). Let me ask you a few questions ! I am currently anxious and worried.

1 > I had no work permit last year and no income.
2 > I read that FATCA is only required for those who have to file a tax return, so am I right in thinking that I don't have to file if I don't have to file a tax return? ( I have not submitted it yet because I found out about it on April 18, and I would like to do it by October 15 as soon as possible ) I need to submit it

4 > In order to apply for permanent residence, I asked my family to submit a certificate of residence for me in Japan. ( I read that financial assets in Japan ) such as banks, securities firms, etc. are services available only to residents of Japan and must be cancelled, but can Japanese citizens have assets in Japan? But, can I hold deposits, stocks, etc.? If so, you will need to report the cancellation and remit the money to the U.S. the next time you return to Japan, since everything in Japan is considered cancelled when the document is signed by the person in question. I hope the current depreciation of the yen is not continuing. I also saw on your blog that you are talking about freezing my deposit. I am very worried. Please let me know.

Sorry for the sideways entry.

#16 Dear SJDummy

I am thinking of sending money to my sister in Japan, is it ok if it is not $10,000 at a time ? for example in 4 installments. I don't have a bank account in Japan, so I will send it to my sister. ( I want it to be used for my mother's care )
If I send my sister a total of $10,000 in one year, will there be any problems on her side ? like taxes....
I have been away from Japan for 40 years, so I don't know anything about Japan.
Please let me know if you can help me.

It seems that $10,000 is the amount on the U.S. side, and on the Japanese side, if the amount is more than 1 million yen, it will be reported to the tax office. For example, assuming that 900,000 yen in Japanese yen is sent four times, probably no report will be sent to the tax office both in Japan and the U.S. ( Personal Opinion ) This is not a guarantee. If the recipient is the same person, if the tax office learned that information, they would check to see if the gift tax has been reported. ( The tax-free range for gift tax in Japan is up to 1,100,000 yen per year ) Also, on the U.S. side, there should normally be no report to the IRS, but if there is an investigation, the gift is considered to be more than $ 15,000 per year to the same person and a gift tax return will be required on the U.S. side. If the rules are followed, gift tax returns ( must be filed in both Japan and the U.S. ) by the recipient in Japan and the sender in the U.S. , so it depends on how you think about the risk of being discovered by the tax authorities. From this point on, it would be up to the individual, but for this amount of money, I would not file a tax return.

Dear SJDummy,

Thank you again.

My Japanese assets are over 100k.
The other day, I talked to someone who has more assets than I do, and he told me that I should file Form 8938 and FBAR properly, but
he said that if I tell my accountant too much detail, he will just make money from me, so I should just do the small amount properly.
( For example, accounts under $10 could be written as $8 or $6. As for his wife, he said that she doesn't declare accounts of about 1-2 million. )
He told us that they have an American accountant, so they do a lot of the work themselves.

I just started to fill out Form 8938 on turbotax, and I can easily find dividends by looking at the brokerage report, but
I have to check the 12 month statement for each account and add up the interest from the bank since it comes in at different times. ?
and it is as the rule says, but the interest on savings accounts is 0.001%, so even if there were tens of millions of dollars, it would only be a few hundred yen,
should I assume 0 yen, ? or should I put an appropriate number? ?

Another thing I don't understand is that the tax rate on capital gains over one year seems to be 0% if it is less than $44,000, but should interest on time deposits over one year be included in interest? Thank you again. Thank you again.

Dear SJDummy,

Sorry. It is financial income, not financial assets.
Financial income is about 2 million yen, although I learned about these programs this year and sold them in a hurry.

In addition, I would like to know if you know anything about this.
It seems that I have to file form 8621 if I have a mutual fund, but I have no idea. My accountant told me that mutual funds are complicated and I should get rid of them.
Do I have to submit the form even if I hold it and do not make a profit? ? Is there an accountant who can help me with this part?
