Look up the term “VPN” or “how to use a VPN to appear like I’m in the UK” on Google. You will find that it’s actually very easy, and often free to appear as if you’re calling a bank from within the UK. Your bank (or any bank) in the UK has no reason to know you are in Indonesia, or anywhere else, unless you tell them. If they ask you to come in to the branch, tell them the truth, that you are in a coma and can only correspond via phone or email.
This will be my last post in this thread or on these sorts of topics
And it saddens me to say that, but not as much as it truly saddens me to think about how unfortunate you’re making your situation for yourself.
I understand fully that some of these systems and services people are talking about may be new to you. I also fully understand that your medical condition prohibits you from doing several things that would be otherwise easy for other people.
I also fully understand your want and need to provide something long-lasting for your family’s future, which I believe is the reason people are still attempting to help you do exactly that. I really and truly want you to be able to do that, which is why
I’ve tried again and again to point you in the right direction for you to get things set up in a way that will be sustainable and automated forever, or at least until someone decides to turn off the revenue stream.
In all honesty, every single problem that you’ve posted on this forum and the LivinginIndonesia forum has been solvable. People have attempted to provide you with solutions, and you come back with excuses of why you can’t use those solutions, and why things are so unfair. In reality though, all of those problems are solved pretty easily, except one - your mindset, which is much more difficult to fix.
I won’t pretend for a second to know what it must be like to go through life with the hand you’ve been dealt, or the effects that it must take on your mental state/psyche. That said, you’re acting as your own and your family’s worst enemy by insisting that everything sucks, nothing works, and never will.
Believe me, I know a defeatist mindset can be tough to beat, but it is possible to do, and makes your situation so much
better once you finally do.
What you’re trying to here for your family’s future is commendable, and my one and only hope is that you can see through your own mental roadblocks that will help you to provide for them while you are still here with them.
I ask you to please take a step back from your situation as a whole, and read through all the threads where advice has been offered to you with a much more positive outlook. I operate in your exact industry Joe, and use all of the systems and services you’re talking about, so I am 100% confident the right answers are there if you’re willing to accept them.
It may be tough to hear, but I will reiterate: what we’re talking about here is your family’s future. Please do the right thing and change your mindset about things and let people help you. Not only will it provide income for them in the future, but it will make the years you have left to spend with them much more enjoyable.
You don’t need to respond to this either in public or in private, and I don’t claim to be the end-all resource on these sorts of topics. I just sincerely hope you can work through whatever it is that’s causing you to approach things in this way while you still have the time to do so.
