Moving to Montenegro

[Tippy]

Hi all,

I have an opportunity to move to Montenegro and live and work there as a teacher.

To be honest, I'm not sure since I lived in Albania last year and was miserable and didn't enjoy Poland either. To be honest, 'escaping the collapse' has led me to trade off one set of problems for another.

I'm just posting to let you know that although as an international teacher I get many offers, I also dont like teaching much. It's very consuming and stressful. Ultimately, it matters less and less the exoticism of the location if the job takes over your life and mental bandwidth.

At the same time, it's a lot of money. Obviously women are better. Just not sure I won't hate it.

If I stay in uk I can do supply teaching or temp work and maybe have some balance but I have to live at home with family (which carries it's own set of problems).

I'm posting this for some advice.

Cheers!

As I have mentioned before there is a reason the old saying exists “there are no solutions only trade offs”. The goal is to trade off your problems for a better set of problems. There is no perfect place or perfect person etc.

In general working sucks for 99% of people. Do you have a plan for financial freedom/early retirement? (or as it’s sometimes referred to as FIRE (financial independence retire early).

You need to have goals around savings and investments so you can retire early and enjoy life at some point. Working until old age is miserable and depressing for most people. Most jobs are soul sucking.

Hey man. No I don't. I'm a career teacher mercenary type who can be employed anywhere. But it's not freedom. It's just slavery to usually a school's demands.
