I used to use wise, but when I looked at it after a long time, I found that it charges a remittance fee.
I remember it didn't charge me before …

What do you use now ？
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

There was a fee before Wise.
I don't think it is possible for international money transfers to be free of remittance fees.
When I was put on hold due to a mistake in operation when I temporarily returned to Japan, customer service helped me out with their quick response.
So far, I think Wise is the fastest and cheapest.

I have no problem requesting more than a week off when I'm part time and have no benefits ？ I reported 3 months before the expected date.
Depending on the size of the company, busy season, etc., there are even times when my co-workers and bosses are not happy with me ？ If taking a vacation would cause problems for the company, I would be willing to quit.

I have been on vacation for a long time, but I have weekends off, so there are 7 days that I can't come to work. When I reported it to my boss, he looked at me with a little disapproval, but I told him that I would do something about it and he agreed, but I am worried that it will be a great inconvenience.

You mean in Hawaii （ within the US ）.
I think there are not many thoughtful people who report three months before their schedule, but unless it is a very small company, everyone takes their vacations without hesitation. I think only Japanese people can't take a vacation because they wonder if it would be a nuisance.

This is my understanding, which I quickly researched because I was curious.
Anyone, please point out if my understanding is incorrect.

As a general rule, it seems that if you sell your own unused items for less than the purchase price, no tax is due.

When exchanging money via Paypal, Sending to a friend （ without protection ） is not taxed. Paying for an item or service （ with protection ） may be taxable
https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/whats-the- difference-between-friends-and-family-or-goods-and-services-payments-help277

Paying for an item or service if more than the specified amount is transferred, Paypal has to report it to the IRS as a 1099-K.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/will-paypal-report-my-sales-to-the-irs-help543

Furthermore, here is a 1099-K for a private sale. What to do ？ but ultimately you should consult a tax professional.
Will the updated 1099-K threshold change apply if I sell personal property, like a couch or an item at a garage sale, if it was sold for less than its Will I be issued a Form 1099-K?
Form 1099-K is an IRS informational tax form that is used to report goods and services payments received by a business or individual in the While payment service providers, like PayPal and Venmo, are required by the IRS to send customers a Form-1099K if they meet the threshold amount ($ 5,000 for calendar year 2024, $ 2,500 for calendar year 2025, or $ 600 for calendar years 2026 and beyond^) PayPal is required to report the total gross amount of payments received for goods and services.

We encourage customers to speak with a tax professional when reviewing their 1099-Ks to determine whether specific amounts are classified as taxable income. I think this will not be a problem if the transaction is less than the amount, but in a few years $ it seems that 1099-Ks will be issued for transactions over 600, which could complicate the tax return process.

I don't know if #4 is the same as the questioner, but ・ ・ ・
if there is a $ 5,000+ transaction on Paypal for an item or service on 2024, the
1099-K form, Paypal will send a 1099-K to the IRS and the taxpayer.
Basically, the amount shown on the 1099-K should be reported as income on your tax return, but if you sell unused items （ and the sale price is lower than the purchase price ） you may not be eligible.
However, PayPal's comment is that you should seek the opinion of a tax accountant or other expert to determine whether or not you are eligible.

In summary, I think it would be a good idea to consult a tax accountant for more information.

The following points should be noted ：

Risk of pathogens: parts of the animal that have been gnawed by wildlife may carry pathogens or parasites. Squirrels and birds, in particular, can carry germs as they travel from one place to another.

Judging by appearance: If the nibbled part is small and visually unremarkable, the nibbled part may be cut off and eaten. However, it is important to do so with great care.

Washing and disinfecting: Washing the apple thoroughly and, if possible, disinfecting it with an edible disinfectant before eating can reduce the risk.

All in all, if safety is important, it is safer not to eat apples that have been bitten by squirrels or birds.

This is a real site, and anyone who tells you to use it is a scammer.

Showing credit history etc. in advance is prohibited by real estate law.
So if you get a reply like this, it is definitely a scam.

For various reasons, I will not be able to work full time until the end of next year, so I am thinking that I will have to enroll myself
rather than through my workplace for a certain period of time after the divorce.
I would appreciate any information about health insurance, such as recommendations if you have purchased it yourself.

I have heard that there are Japanese-owned hospitals, but I have also seen that they are available
with insurance associated with a credit card. Is there anyone who has Japanese insurance and uses this hospital ？?

If your monthly income does not exceed $1,990 per month (including tax and gratuity)
you can join HMSA Quest ！ 😊

You can visit any hospital
for eye, dental and medical care but only for teeth
if you have an emergency toothache and need it pulled.
only if you have an emergency toothache and need to have it pulled
they don't charge you for doctor visits

when you apply for membership, you have to provide the office with your pay stubs for the last 3 months, but if you explain that you changed from full time to part time and no longer get insurance, you can get by with it.

You can send a copy of your paystubs, but
you should call the Quest office and inquire
first

the phone lines are always busy, so call early.
it is safer

there is no bank balance check, so don't worry

good luck!
