we no longer have a mortgage, my husband is now retired and wants to travel back to Lebanon. We don’t splurge or anything like that. Inflation has hit hard and want to relocate while growing his 401k which is less than 700k at the moment. I'm cautious than ever with rising costs. Also because of the insecurities taking place I have really discouraged the idea.

[@PurvisTwiggs]

Roughly how much you have in the 401k combined with a financial advisor’s help can help you not only grow but budget the money for your travel destinations. My spouse always delegates her excesses.

[@sergiopawson]

If I can chip in know what you are expecting from the 401k. An adviser might be able to help you visualize what role. The 401k plays in your overall plan. If your husband isn’t require to take minimum distributions yet, how long will it be until he reaches that required beginning age? These are what an adviser may want to determine in order to help you plan better and what investment strategy best suits you.

[@NinaNowakDemir]

I visited Lebanon, Egypt and Syria as a woman travelling alone. And i hitchhiked through Turkey were I met my now husband. The only time I felt unsafe was in Syria when 2 men approached me and wouldn't accept a NO, but didn't touched me or anything. And like 3 minutes later there were 5 guys who helped me. There are good people in every country. I often heard "don't travel to a muslim country as a woman alone"... but for me that wasn't true. Besides that one incident with the syrian guys I always felt safe. People invited me, little shops gifted me stuff. And I felt so watched after. In Egypt the most. People asked me all the time if everything is alright and how I like the country, they invited me to tea or bought me something from those little food stands on the side of the road. It was amazing. The only time during my travels were I got molested and was really feared was in Europe. I got pushed against a wall and was touched between my legs in Paris.

Beirut has always been a pretty western-like city for decades.

[@peter_hhm]

Man, I am really amazed by how many locals in Lebanon speak fluent English. In my country, China, I’d say probably 80% of the population can’t have conversation in English at all. Most of the young people know some English, but it’s more for writing exams instead of actually using it in daily interactions, which means many of them wouldn’t speak English nearly as fluently. Like Chinese, Arabic is a language completely different from English, and yet, so many Lebanese people speak English so comfortably, it’s just fascinating.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

Like as they said briefly on screen, in Lebanon, the US dollar was used as an additional curency until the government banned it in 2019. I just checked and basically USA influence has been slowly influencing the rise of English since the 1940s. Apparently 30% of Lebanese people speak English, and I would bet that most of them are younger people and people who live and work in Beirut. Wikipedia says the government instituted the use of a trilingual education system in 1997, where education is to be done in Arabic, English, and French. So most of the people they talked to would be young enough to have been using English all throughout their lives in school. I think Thomas could have been using French as well, but English worked better for the video. Or maybe he didn't know about the French part, who knows. French would have been more likely to work on older people than English so it's entirely possible he WAS using it off camera.

[@CRneu]

The folks that yes theory interacts with tend to be younger folks that have traveled abroad, so english is commonly spoken. Also, 2 of the 3 people here didn't speak arabic so you're not going to see interactions with those hosts in anything but english.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

Actually Lebanon has had a tri lingual education system for a looong time. Well before 1997. It may not have been instituted before then though. I’m first generation and my whole family (parents, aunts, uncles) speak English, French and Arabic. This is because schools in Lebanon are either French or English schools. All taught Arabic but you needed French or English as well

There's a huge community of Lebanese and Sirian descendents in Brazil and I'm privileged to have many friends in those communities. It's exactly as shown. Their hospitality and love for life is contagious. I'm praying for these brave and resilient peoples to overcome this difficult moment and reconstruct what was a little piece of paradise. And by the way, I'm an Italian descent myself but YES!! their food is fantastic.

Whoa! I never expected it to be like this. So many spoke great English. And I was stunned by the number of really handsome Lebanese men 😮

[@johnscallobs8273]

this comment will probably be buried deep down but I have to say this. I've been following yall for 7 years and you gave me a reason to live. to see the experiences, the hospitability, the kindness and the power of connections has made me hopeful, even if I don't experience them myself. to know that there are kind people out there like in this video gives me strength to live on, and for myself to experience it too. to be honest, there is no yesfam community in Singapore where I live and I've tried to reach out and find my community but I couldn't. this video made me smile, and be hopeful that will soon. the energy is so contagious. Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do, you may not realise the entirety of your love but it is awesome. More love more life.

I travelled solo to Beirut in the Fall of 2019, right when the protests against the government were ongoing. I stayed with the nicest airbnb hosts imaginable in the port district that later got blown up by the huge explosion. Luckily, they survived. I had a great week in Beirut - much better than I was expecting. I even walked straight through the protests and the army was so friendly as were the protesters. Unlike in the past, they were young and peaceful. Already their currency was crashing but not nearly as bad as what happened after I left. The nightlife was fantastic, the food was great as well as the people and the history was fascinating. Before the economy crashed the lifestyle was awesome. I left with a new appreciation for this great destination and know that Lebanon will rebuild and thrive again in the future thanks to its wonderful people. They survived a far worse civil war - they can survive this. We in the West need to help economically though.
