<prompt> Human: Ive been living in South Korea for the past 7 years and will be going back to the U.S. with my wife and I have some money saved up 220,000. Im leaving in a few months and was wondering if I should take all the money back in one lump sum or leave some here in her Korean savings account interest is around 2.4. What would be the best way to bring back that much?The problem is, I dont have a job lined up and dont have any real work experience Im 30!!. I mean, I was a corporate personnel assistant but didnt do much in terms of learning new skills. I will be able to live with my parents for a little while and then move into an apartment. I will be looking around and applying for jobs online while I am here in Korea. Any advice or criticism would be appreciated. Thanks!  <response>: I have a strong guess you have many more skills than you realize, just being bilingual with English and Korean can be a huge plus to many employers. You have worldly experience, some past corporate experience, and with a bit of effort Id guess you wont have trouble finding employment.As to leaving money in a foreign country to earn interest, Im biased in my belief that money in the U.S. is more secure than in South Korea. If you intend to regularly travel back to South Korea that is an argument for leaving some, otherwise it is just one more fun line on your taxes every year related to foreign income tax. One fun caution with applying for jobs online, do your best to show that you live in the U.S. use a valid address such as your parents, try to not give out a phone number that requires they dial internationally first, or if needed, offer a simple explanation such as traveling temporarily in South Korea and will be returning on date X.
