Expats are all English when they are outside the UK - be they retired in Spain or living / working in Dubai / Asia / Australia.

Unverifiable, untraceable money arriving into your account does not work well with AML regualations.

Oddly it has conditioned many friends who were stauch opponents of private schools (waste of money and only generates entitled poorly educated people) to feel more comfortable with paying the cheaper private school fees for primary school (or they took one look at the public alternative and realised the reality)

People who hire people just can't seem to help themselves but hire shit people, especially people who talk a lot about how they need process etc so it doesnt happen.

Day in day out, they always hire low performers, and I have no idea why. An untrained chimp with a stack of CVs would have a better strike rate.

As an undergrad I was travelling across campus multiple times a day, spent hours on my feet in labs, did multiple heavy grocery shuttles and also spent a lot of time partying.

In my first job, I could be sat in the same spot for 8-10 hours without moving.

You would give it a lot of thought while dropping your kids off at the new private school you kids just recieved a scholarship to, in the brand new car that arrived (you always wanted the Tesla but it was a Lexus that arrived), feeling much more relaxed after the family holiday (the med is nice over summer but Japan was calling).

The subtle hidden message is that rich people are idiots who misattribute their success to factors like dropping out of college or getting up at 6am.
