COSTCO is available in Japan even for US members.

I think it is possible to do it when you enter the store
because you have to go through a special procedure at the cashier
when I went there, it took a little time and I felt sorry for the people around me .

SAMS is a lot easier to shop at than costco because it is totally empty.

I can just roll it over into an IRA.
In addition, you have to fund it there every month.
I see. Thank you.

It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to make monthly savings. You may choose to keep your money in your IRA and not set aside any funds. You can have more than one IRA account, so you can open a new account at a different financial institution if the product you want is not available at that institution.

There are different places to move your 401K to depending on your individual circumstances and end goal.
I can't discuss this here, so
I would be honored if you would contact me and have me find a contact at GigWork.

Did you find a baby chair ？
I've seen one in Chinatown as you mentioned.
I don't know if it makes noise or not, but …
I think it was a store on the King Street side.

Thanks for the information ！
I used to go to Chinatown a lot, but since the baby was born, I haven't been there because it looks dirty, but I'll have my husband go look. I have someone who has approached me about a nice used Japanese beanbag chair, but I am looking for it as inexpensively as possible.

How about Daiso ？
They are often sold at Daiso in Japan, so maybe Daiso in Hawaii will stock them ？.

After I wrote my post, I went to the Piikoy store last Saturday thinking that Daiso might have it, but they didn't. They don't always have the same stuff, and I'm hoping they might have it once in a while.

The two requirements are

I'm not sure about the monthly fees, but I used to use Park and YMCA programs a lot.
They have not only exercise programs but also piano and other programs.
I think the cost is reasonable, so why don't you inquire at least once in your neighborhood ？.

First, you have to know what the children want to do. For example, they want to learn ballet, but you can't tell them to play soccer
because it costs money, or they want to play basketball
but you can't tell them to learn calligraphy because it costs money to go on trips.
(For example.
First, let the kids name 2 or 3 things they want to do
and then you can consider ？ children get bored easily, so if you make them learn something they don't want to learn
because of money, it is
a waste of money and time. It's a waste of money and time. Also, even if you ask here
, it would be easier to answer if you give more specifics about what you want to learn.

Yes, if you could be a little more specific, I'm sure many of us could give you our opinions.
I think elementary school students are very different from first graders and fifth graders. 。。。。 And boys and girls will have different
advice.

But, in general, individual sports are expensive. If you're a girl, figure skating or gymnastics is robustly expensive. At first, they let their children learn just for fun, but as they get better, they are told that they will be placed in an athletes' course and will be required to attend twice a week... At first, parents are happy and wonder if their children have potential ？ and let them attend twice a week, but eventually it becomes three or four weeks. 。。。。 The monthly fee goes up and up and up. And when they start participating in tournaments, parents are also asked to volunteer, and the cost of coaching （ lodging, airfare, and meals ） are paid for by the parents who go to the tournaments. I was surprised how much money it cost when my child did well and had to play in another state or in Hawaii.

The same is true for figure skating. As you get better, you have to hire your own coach, rent out the rink for morning practice, etc. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. Costumes for competitions are also expensive. If you are a girl, I felt that figure skating and gymnastics are the two sports you should stay away from if you can't afford it💦

I don't have any experience, but I think team sports are still less expensive ？.


In the summer, swimming looked like fun with the programs that the City was doing. If you go to a slightly larger park, I think you can get a guide to those programs. The ones that City offers are very inexpensive. However, the piano classes were cheap or bad. If you go to a big park, there is always a building that offers such activities, so I think you should go there and get a brochure. Some programs are year-round and some are specifically for summer vacation. They are just cheaper, so registration can get crowded.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 65 years of age or older, younger and have certain disabilities, or end-stage renal disease （ ESRD ）.

Immigrants can also enroll in Medicare if they meet eligibility requirements. Since Medicare is an individual health insurance program, an individual cannot be enrolled in Medicare for his or her spouse or parents.

Can assist parents and spouses in obtaining permanent residence in the U.S. so that they meet Medicare residency eligibility requirements. According to USCIS （ USCIS ） a green card is required for permanent residence and may be applied for through family members. If an individual is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, the parents or spouse of that individual may apply for a green card through their relationship to that individual.

Please begin by checking your eligibility for Social Security.

Below are the eligibility requirements

How long do you have to be in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
Learn more about credits at www.ssa. gov/planners/credits.html.
Although you need at least 10 years of work (40 credits) to qualify
for Social Security retirement benefits , we base the amount of your benefit
on your highest 35 years of earnings.
（ How long must I stay in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
For more information on credits, visit www.ssa.gov/planners/credits.html.
You must have at least 10 years of service (40 credits) to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, but
benefit amounts are based on up to 35 years of earnings. ）

As you can see, Social Security eligibility requires
a minimum of 10 years of employment.
This can be found at https://www.ssa.gov/のサイトで個人のアカウントを作成する事でわかりますので
Please create and check your records. You can also check Medicare on the same site
please check this site.

What is the Social Security 5 year rule?
You must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five of the last ten years
In addition, see explanation above.
In other words, even if you live in the US, you must have paid Social Security
taxes and Medicare for five of the last 10 years.

I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, and when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.

I think you can check the website first and if you are eligible for Social Security, you can apply for Medicare
.
