Your too young to work sorry

Since you're only 10 and too young to get a job out in the work world, I would recommend talking to your parents about possible jobs you can do around the house. You could set a dollar amount for each job. For example: Vaccuum the house for $3, wash a car for $5, set the table every night for $3 a week, etc. Depending on how well you know your neighbors, you could talk to them about helping out with their chores too. If your parents see you're really serious about saving money for your trip, perhaps they'd be willing to match however much you save. Good luck, enjoy your trip!
3 :
You can get a paper route, or do extra chores around the house if your earn an allowance. Fall is coming up, so you can rake leaves for your neighbors. As you start to earn money have your parents assist you with opening a savings acct to put the money in and you can yearn some interest on it. Plus this way it will be out of sight out of mind and you'll have a better chance of actually saving it and not spending it on candy or toys, or games.... Good luck I hope you can make your trip.

Would it make economic sense to move from USA to China?
Would it make economic sense to move from USA to China?
I know the USA is a great country, but from a money-making perspective. It looks like China is what USA used to be like when the US economy was booming and we had thriving industries in America, which are now gone forever. 1) China manufactures almost everything. 2) China has high-speed rail systems and public works. 3) Chinese services in America are very price-competitive. (e.g. Chinatown Buslines operates busses by the hour Washington, DC to New York City ($17.50 each way). $15 each way to Boston. Chinese are economically more and more efficient by cutting costs. 4) China for the first year in history, purchase more automobiles than the United States, and they are surpassing Germany and Japan in auto production. 5) China controls everything now, including the value of the USA currency. 6) China also does not need to invest in the Defense budget of the USA because nobody wants to fight a country with 1.3 Billion subjects. 7) China has more manpower than the USA and far more growth potential, because there are much fewer labor laws, no unionization of workers, no minimum wage, much more cost efficient at pretty much everything. The NEW USA is happening right now in China. In China, it is like the way things used to be in the United States. In China, if you want to manufacture automobiles, manufacure steel, manufacture computers, manufacture clothing, manufacture headphones, manufacture DVD machines....there's factories everywhere you look...all the factories that were once USA factories. Shouldn't we just move to China? china everyone is Chinese, there's no subsidies for minorities, there's no real diversity, it's just everybody's one....they are Chinese

Yes. You've pretty much stated every reason that matters already. In addition, they have a powerful military, loads of people, great industry, and own much of America's debt. If China wanted to, it could take us over militarily or economically. Better to be on the Chinese side before that happens.

China manufactures almost everything. It's actually American businesses that move to China because of the low taxes. China also does not need to invest in the Defense budget of the USA because nobody wants to fight a country with 1.3 Billion subjects tHat is their Army, they do not have a Navy. China has more manpower than the USA and far more growth potential, because there are much fewer labor laws, no unionization of workers, no minimum wage, much more cost efficient at pretty much everything. Now the U.S has all of those things, and our economy sucks. You think the 2 may correlate?

What an ignorant idea. The Chinese government is oppressive, no amount of economic stability is worth one's freedom.

China is still a communist nation so if you like having your personal life constantly regulated by Big Brother, feel free.
7 :
What you forgot to mention: Most people in China are struggling right now with money and the chances of moving up in your status are much smaller than in the U.S. China is WAY overcrowded. China has a very overcontrolling government. I think I'll live with all my liberties in the U.S., thank you!

About how much would this trip through Europe cost?
About how much would this trip through Europe cost?
I want to start in the Netherlands followed by Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain and end with Portugal, then fly back to Beijing. I currently live and teach English in China. I make good money so I am not worried about it being expensive, but I have only been to England, so I have no idea how much a real trip through Europe would cost. Any experienced travelers on here that can give me a rough idea how much it would cost(transportation, hotels, food, sites, etc.)?

It of course depends on what kind of hotels and restaurants you use. Going of a tight budget will cost a minimum of $100/day. You could easily spend several times that. Get a guidebook that covers the places you will be.
2 :
i would guess about 1000

Why are child molester tourists to poor countries more likely to be from Germany than anywhere else?
Why are child molester tourists to poor countries more likely to be from Germany than anywhere else?
When I was in Guatemala and in Thailand I can say I saw what was the most common form of making money was Child Prostitution. Even though I was disgusted by this practice in both countries I could not do anything about it, the Pedophile pimps where protected by local greased off cops. What made me even more angry and disgusted was seeing that the top customers were foreign tourists from several other countries (USA, UK, Germany, Russia, and Japan to mention a few). But out of all the countries I can say they were mostly German. I mean if I had to throw a number out I would say anywhere between 25% to 40% of the customers were from Germany. What gives? I tried to find information online but it is a bit limited. So is this how Germany keeps its numbers of Child Molesters down, by molesting kids in poorer countries? I do not get it, how is this treated in Europe?

Or you embassies are paying the police for free passes.

I'd like to see proof of this without just throwing it out there like that. But, Germans make up a large percentage of tourists everywhere because they have a lot of holiday and vacation time and the money and means to travel.

I would have to say that the cops in this case just do not care about child molesters and let them run loose screwing up kids' lives. They tend to treat child molesters in Europe as objects of subjection towards chemical castration.

Was Nazi Germany's establishment of Hitler as a 'supreme ruler' an example of a cult of personality?
Was Nazi Germany's establishment of Hitler as a 'supreme ruler' an example of a cult of personality?
I'm just rather curious- the whole 'Seig heil, all money and power to Hitler' thing kind of makes it seem like he was pretty arrogant at least, but I'm wondering if that was just a simple trait redolent of a cult of personality or the entire Nazi Germany theme was constructed as a cult of personality. {{Um, by the way, sorry if my phrasing is bad. :D}} Thanks a bunch!

2 :
it was a cult of personality, of course it was, many totalitarian regimes are also personality cults. With Hitler it wasn't really money what he was aiming for (for ex he paid for some of his own stuff, he didn't loot things for himself like Goring did,etc) but about the power, he wanted power, he wanted to be a great ruler of a great nation ,he wanted to establish himself as the greatest leader of the most powerful,successful,orderly nation. The Nazi Party would have probably had much less of an appeal without Hitler. Sure, in those days,with those problems, if there had been someone else instead of Hitler but with the same plans(socially speaking) maybe they would have managed to get a majority but I doubt that the party would have risen to the extent Hitler helped it rise. Hitler was one of those people who, at least at that time and maybe inexplicably so to us today, had a special type of charisma and magnetism especially when he held one of his speeches so the whole regime was constructed around him both cause he was the supreme leader and because image wise he was the most magnetic of them all. It was definitely a cult of personality.
3 :
Yes Hitler developed a cult of personality where all Germans must be completely loyal to him over everything else. Even in the last days when it was obvious they will lose, many stayed loyal and practically worshiped him. Many commited suicide rather than surrender so they don't be judged as being disloyal to him. Many soldiers killed anybody showing any disloyalty to Hitler in the last days.
4 :
yes,he was a power crazed fanatic and had all the qualities of a cult leader. ok, he was far from good looking, unlike jim jones, but his status lay with his position in government, and eva brown loved him despite the fact he had one ball!! so yes, cult personality all over.

How hard will it be for a 18yr old from Arizona to move to Cologne Germany?
I am slowly but surely learning the language. I plan on flying out to Austria and staying there for about a month with a friend and her family . Sometime in august i plan to take a train over to Cologne and stay with a friend for a while until i can find an apartment. How hard will it be for me to get a job? Ill even do like labor work i dont care what i do as long as i make some money. I will have about 4000 euros when i arrive. I also looked up and all i need is a residency permit to get a job and i am soon going to Los Angeles to get it at a registration office. My great grandfather was born in Germany as well but i dont think that will really matter since he is a great. Should i stay here in Arizona? Or should i follow my dream and be with some really good friends of mine in Germany?

You should definitely go to Germany for the experience! Please keep in mind that most northern Europeans are narrow-minded, racist, nationalistic, stuck up and completely anti-American. This will definitely effect you being able to get a job. Finding an apartment will be no problem because Europeans think all Americans are rich or are willing to go so far into debt that we will give them their money regardless. Oh and be prepared to be treated like an idiot, constantly. It won't be as hard as you think to relocate.
2 :
You need a visa and money
3 :
It will be difficult to get a work visa and if your great grand father had citizenship, that wouldn't be enough for you to get citizenship rights. I heard that if your grand parent was a citizen, then it might be possible, but they have a strict cut off after that. Otherwise there would be many Americans who could easily get citizenship. The best bet would be to have a German company sponsor you. If you worked at say "Adidas," they send American workers over there all the time. But to just get a job, would be working illegally. You would have to do it under the table. Good luck though. I'm jealous. My German professor komt aus Köln.

I want to make the right call in my relationship - should I move in with my boyfriend?
I want to make the right call in my relationship - should I move in with my boyfriend?
Here is the context - I am 22 and a senior in college, although I took a break this semester to make some money. I am going back next fall most likely. My boyfriend is 28 and a successful software engineer, and has a masters in computer science. We've been dating six months and are very in love with one another. We just spent 3 weeks together in Switzerland and Germany where we stayed with his family and I absolutely love them and had an amazing time. He enjoys my family as well and they love him too. He enriches my life in every way, and I can see a very long future with him. He feels strongly about me also and says I take good care of him (I love cooking for him and keeping house :P ). Currently I pay $659 a month in food and housing, which is a pretty great deal, but if I moved in with my boyfriend I would be paying much less probably. He's already paying for his apartment and food so my rent would be based on my ability to give. He mentioned $300 a month. I would also save in transportation costs, driving to and from his apartment, which is about 25 minutes from where I live now. He says it's silly to be spending all that money on food and housing since I spend virtually all of my time at his place, sleeping there every night and eating my meals there. As a student, I also don't have very much stuff, so in general, moving in wouldn't be much of a logistical problem at all. He's been wanting me to move in for a while. Neither of us have ever lived with anyone. I want to know, what sorts of things about our relationship will change if we move in together, and what do I need to consider before doing so? I am also interested in hearing personal stories about how moving in with someone worked out for you. How do I decide what's right for my relationship and for my life? What should I think about?

1 :
I would never move in with a guy unless we were married, or had set a date to be married. If you are good enough to live with, you should be good enough to marry. Living together does two things: it makes it harder to break up, and it makes you both less eager to be married because you are already acting like it. When you are ready to make a long term commitment, then you should move in together.
2 :
just move in and see how it go ! you live and learn !!
3 :
Not until a wedding date is planned and is firm. It can be a year from now, but it should not be open ended.
4 :
If I were you, I'd do it. At your own risk though. Some couples I know seemed perfect but when they moved in, all they did was argue. But the way you describe the relationship between you too, I'd probably go for it. I'm only 15, but I know alot for my age. It'd save you money, you'd be with the person you love, and you wouldnt be alone :) Goodluck!
5 :
You should move in with your boyfriend and really get to know each other before getting married and having kids! Once you get married it's almost to late to get to know each other because you will be in full stride if you relationship !Trust me there is a lot that you don't know about each other right now !It's always good to test something before you put it to full use !
6 :
Just make sure that you yourself are financially stable if something in the relationship happens.
7 :
I agree with magic 8-ball. As my mother alway said "See me and Live with me is two different things" Six months is hardly any time to REALLY get to know someone and once you two live together you are in each others personal space. Habits will rear their ugly head perhaps some you don't really like and without a firm mindset and commitment (marriage) it can easily destroy your relationship. Trust me. I'm living it now.
8 :
this is a big decision...things that will change: you will be together all the time without having the option of going back to your place and that will cause fights because you wont have your own spaces anymore your going to have to share.; if theres a fight you gotta stay there because you dont have your own place anymore...if things go south you will have to find another place because that is his place. Your not gonna be as intimate anymore because your together all the time...I honestly would wait a bit longer since youve only been together a couple of months...either that or tell him to find an apartment together so it will be yours as much as his...living together is a big adjustment and the money you save is not going to make it easier.
9 :
At this point there is no good or bad decision,you are in love right now !What ever you decide you and he will have to live with it !One good point is that you are packing light ,i.e. not a lot of stuff!You're young and you should give it a try with a open mind! at less you will be getting to know your boyfriend !So many people put a lot of instances on being married ,but you can ruin it by not knowing your mate ! You really have nothing to lose by trying because you already probably having sex !

My boyfriend is 28 and a successful software engineer, and has a masters in computer science. We've been dating six months and are very in love with one another. We just spent 3 weeks together in Switzerland and Germany where we stayed with his family and I absolutely love them and had an amazing time. He enjoys my family as well and they love him too. He enriches my life in every way, and I can see a very long future with him. He feels strongly about me also and says I take good care of him (I love cooking for him and keeping house :P ). Currently I pay $659 a month in food and housing, which is a pretty great deal, but if I moved in with my boyfriend I would be paying much less probably. He's already paying for his apartment and food so my rent would be based on my ability to give. He mentioned $300 a month. I would also save in transportation costs, driving to and from his apartment, which is about 25 minutes from where I live now. He says it's silly to be spending all that money on food and housing since I spend virtually all of my time at his place, sleeping there every night and eating my meals there. As a student, I also don't have very much stuff, so in general, moving in wouldn't be much of a logistical problem at all. He's been wanting me to move in for a while. Neither of us have ever lived with anyone. I want to know, what sorts of things about our relationship will change if we move in together, and what do I need to consider before doing so? I am also interested in hearing personal stories about how moving in with someone worked out for you. How do I decide what's right for my relationship and for my life? What should I think about?

I would never move in with a guy unless we were married, or had set a date to be married. If you are good enough to live with, you should be good enough to marry. Living together does two things: it makes it harder to break up, and it makes you both less eager to be married because you are already acting like it. When you are ready to make a long term commitment, then you should move in together.

just move in and see how it go ! you live and learn !!

Not until a wedding date is planned and is firm. It can be a year from now, but it should not be open ended.

If I were you, I'd do it. At your own risk though. Some couples I know seemed perfect but when they moved in, all they did was argue. But the way you describe the relationship between you too, I'd probably go for it. I'm only 15, but I know alot for my age. It'd save you money, you'd be with the person you love, and you wouldnt be alone :) Goodluck!

You should move in with your boyfriend and really get to know each other before getting married and having kids! Once you get married it's almost to late to get to know each other because you will be in full stride if you relationship !Trust me there is a lot that you don't know about each other right now !It's always good to test something before you put it to full use !

Just make sure that you yourself are financially stable if something in the relationship happens.

I agree with magic 8-ball. As my mother alway said "See me and Live with me is two different things" Six months is hardly any time to REALLY get to know someone and once you two live together you are in each others personal space. Habits will rear their ugly head perhaps some you don't really like and without a firm mindset and commitment (marriage) it can easily destroy your relationship. Trust me. I'm living it now.

this is a big decision...things that will change: you will be together all the time without having the option of going back to your place and that will cause fights because you wont have your own spaces anymore your going to have to share.; if theres a fight you gotta stay there because you dont have your own place anymore...if things go south you will have to find another place because that is his place. Your not gonna be as intimate anymore because your together all the time...I honestly would wait a bit longer since youve only been together a couple of months...either that or tell him to find an apartment together so it will be yours as much as his...living together is a big adjustment and the money you save is not going to make it easier.

At this point there is no good or bad decision,you are in love right now !What ever you decide you and he will have to live with it !One good point is that you are packing light ,i.e. not a lot of stuff!You're young and you should give it a try with a open mind! at less you will be getting to know your boyfriend !So many people put a lot of instances on being married ,but you can ruin it by not knowing your mate ! You really have nothing to lose by trying because you already probably having sex !
