I wish I had known about overseas teaching when I was younger. My kids about to be a teenager and am trying to get him to get the hell out of this country and go visit Switzerland or go teach English in Beijing something like that too. Just to get some experience outside the US. Once he’s old enough of course, just planting seeds now.
You just described my nephew. He saved up to buy the dolphin hacking tool, I gave him an old laptop to do his more dangerous stuff on so he didn’t break his current one, stuff like that. Built his own keyboard, 3d prints me fun shit like a pocket knife wall rack. He’s barely in 6th grade. Loves making his own board game rules and messing around with programming and make space stuff.
He is a little autistic and has trouble controlling emotions, explodes easily, but can occupy himself with awesome tech stuff.
Are you remote or did you move to Germany?
Could at least argue credit shows your payment history and debt to income ratio, social credit score could be literally anything. Both can suck at the same time.
You can make your own pretty cheaply with a little electronics knowledge and tools
