Forced sale due to relocation to the USA

Most brokers do not accept USA clients. Will probably be replaced by a global ETF, as I will be focusing less on individual shares in future. However, I have been very satisfied with the return.

@Artiskon Thank you very much! It's not a bad corner. I quite like it, the nature is beautiful and the people are very pleasant. And there is no state tax ;)

@MoKi28 Note: In some (few) states, you can 'swap' your German driver's license for an American one (without having to surrender your German one). It worked for me in the Midwest back then. You can also use an international driver's license (apply for one here in Germany), but this is useless because the insurance premium for your own vehicle is then extremely high.

@MoKi28 Note2: The very first thing you must do (if not already organized by your employer) is to apply for an American Social Security number. Without it, you are not a human being there. You won't get an account and will have problems registering or signing contracts everywhere else.

@NichtRelevant US driver's license is still on my list. I currently have the German and the international license.

Congratulations! What do you do for a living and how did you come to this decision?

That's right. My employer offered me a job there. As the prospects at my previous job in Germany were not so good, it was an attractive move for me.

Informative: There are special banking services for expats and people who often move across national borders - e.g. at HSBC.
