Fluffy - every country has its problems. And every move is expensive. FYI Bulgaria is still very affordable. re. Hungary : it is on our list to visit again. It is very exciting to take a short flight and enjoy Europe without a jet lag. We love ... Read More

I agree- we are all the victims of the banking systems whether in the UK, EU, US.I use Wise. It is ok, not great. Of course it has fees also. Recently I had to send money to Germany and I was shocked that there were no fees and the money was ... Read More

@fluffy2560For many years we used to send money to family in Bulgaria with official bank cheques and cashing was never a problem. Of course they took some stupid fees for that. Bulgarian banks have fees left and right.As I said quite predatory. ... Read More

Cheques are still being used in the US. I rarely use them though. I can write a cheque if buying a car though for the whole purchase no matter the price( they will gladly take my money). It will take a few days for the cheque to clear. Using ... Read More

@JimJIn the US "paying cash" means either using a cheque or a bank transfer.It means that one will not be making monthly payments. It is the best way to avoid payingany interest for a big purchase. In Bulgaria people have different understanding ... Read More

I appreciate all the advice/tips and I have a few follow up questions:1. When one buys a car from another EU country the warrantee is no longer good( per the dealership I talked to). Maybe only the factory warrantee??2. When buying a car from ... Read More

Yes, I heard about buying cars in Germany; too complicated to do that. I bought in the past in the US a car that was driven in Canada and the odometer showed only in km. Maybe there was a setting for miles to change it but I never used ... Read More

Shipping a dog within EU by TonyFF
I am buying a dog from Germany and he will be send by plane to Bulgaria.He will have all the documents. Do you know what is the procedure to claim the dog when he " lands" in Bulgaria?
I did some research- I have to go to the cargo area. Some people say it is a breeze to pick up the pet ; after all the shipping is within the EU; apparently there are some forms to fill out. Well, I will find out.... Read More
