Re: For US folks - new ID.me vs ssa.gov login
I'm not sure about using ID.me for SSA login, versus the 'regular' way you mention, so this is not a direct answer to your question. But I did create an ID.me account for IRS purposes a couple months ago--photos of suitable IDs submitted, then a video call to confirm those, and setup did get done. ...

Re: For US folks - new ID.me vs ssa.gov login
Good luck.
I tried to register, got frustrated and gave up. I suppose at some point I will have to actually complete it.
Let us know when you are successful.

Re: Best Credit Card for a Student
Good question and I am also interested in good suggestions. I was thinking about just a SONY Bank account and a debit card as a first step for our eldest. With very limited/no income is it easy to get a credit card for a youngster? We ended up getting a Mitsui Sumitomo card (top of the list). Hassl...

Currency ratio for investments
For most domestic and overseas investments the answer is easy, although a bit complicated to calculate for international index funds.
I think my current mix is this:
USD 69%
JPY 25%
AUD 5%
GPB 1%

Re: HS & University fees
I should add one son went to the USA on a high school exchange program. That was at a public US school and the 'non-profit' program cost us about ¥1,500,000 and included a homestay. https://study.yfu.org/ FYI: I did a lot of shopping around, and a lot of public schools charge non-citizens (or even c...

Re: HS & University fees
The year abroad was almost for free, as it consisted of five months “Baito” in my home country, (and that came with a room), travel throughout Europe, followed by another job while staying at a friend’s place. Very good - though not always pleasant - experience. Having a job and a free place to sta...

1,000,000 food That seems high.... are they a professional athlete? Pro, no. But athletic young male who can burn 3,000-4,000 calories a day and still not put on weight. ¥1,000,000 (for 10 months) works out to about US$20/day. $20 might buy you a cheap lunch... It's impossible to spend less unless ...

Re: HS & University fees
Our private university cost about 1.4 Mio per year, plus entrance fee (300,000?). For the (privately organized) year abroad, we had to pay around 150,000 to secure the place. I generally agree with the estimate for private. ¥6,000,000 for tuition, plus books, transport and food costs. Add xxx if th...
