So that's still somewhere between 6600 to 11000 people in the US alone. Assuming a range of 1/300000 to 1/400000 out of 331 million US Citizens... So while rare, its not impossible to run in to.

Now the biggest issue is to get those that train to come back. A lot of Russians chose not to, same with Indians, and Japanese. China has an extensive espionage network focused on keeping track of exchange students and make sure that they f

Here's my European personal finance software on Apple Macs and iPads journey. I used to use MoneyWiz but it couldn't handle both American, Irish, and Swedish bank or investment accounts. So I outgrew it quickly. Then I did it manu
