Thanks for the update. Korea loves their point systems. I'm curious how a newborn even accumulates points.
A mil is quite a lot compared to what Korean parents pay after the government helps them out. Are you sure there aren't any government programs you could take advantage of? My wife, who's Korean, and I had to hit up the government office a couple of times to get enlisted in the programs we're in. I know it's a lot harder to navigate as you're both foreigners, but it might be worth a shot to call around and see if you qualify for some kind of aide. Like you said, you're paying the taxes.
My partner is ethnically Korean, but she is still Chinese citicen (but is switching to Korean citicenship right now), she was born into the Korean minority in China and grew up speaking Korean only until she went to middle school or something. She is handling all of it, I'm just watching her doing it ^^. Anyway there was something where we can get a coupple of thousends but nothing worth mentioning.
Oh, right on. Best of luck to y'all!
