Re: Waste removal

Re: Waste removal
Parents are often under the delusion that their kids will want their stuff. They don't. We had no problem getting some charities to clear out my parent's entire house in the U.S. There was a lot of valuable stuff that none of us wanted and thought it would be better just to give it all to charity.

Re: autopayment of bank credit card
The Sparda ATM down the street always gives me the exact currency rate that I check online beforehand and no extra charges.
The no-name ATM by McDonalds has all kinds of charges which you can see when you insert your card. Then you have the option to remove it and go somewhere else.

Re: autopayment of bank credit card
You are correct. As being I only use it once a year for the deposit on my rental car and get it back when I return the car, it is really never used. Thanks for the reminder. I do get weird looks when I give them my German license and a Swedish card.

Re: autopayment of bank credit card
I haven't had a credit or debit card that wasn't automatically paid in probably 25 years. I've also never paid to have a credit card. My current one is from TFBank in Sweden. I only need to use it once a year for a rental car in the U.S. where they won't take a debit card.

Excited for you!
We got a new frig today out of necessity. Our 34 year old one started dying. It's pretty cool.

Re: Can British citizens travel to the UK using a non-British passport?
A lot can happen and life can change in 5 years. At least that has been my experience. Still, having the option to go somewhere warmer is a nice goal. As long as the residency laws don't change.
