Oh man. I get where you’re coming from. Glad it worked out for you.

My brother who now has kids lives with my parents. He works with my dad and they get along well. He’s now had like 2 rental properties on the side and probably has at-least 3X higher net worth than me.

So while I enjoy the freedom of being in another country alone, I sometimes do ponder how life would have been if I stayed with/near them. Our kids would have enjoyed spending time with grandparents for sure. My wife could use that help. Right now she is stay-at-home mom. If we had grandparents close by, she could work. Day care is just too far expensive to be worth it.

Staying with parents has a lot of benefits (esp with covid WFH thing) if you have good relationship with them.

IMHO Day care is one of the best investments a society can make, I would not like living in a political environment that makes it too expensive.
