I live in Wisconsin and travel to Romania frequently for work. As someone else mentioned, you usually only need electrical adapters for electronics because most support all voltages. However, fans, hair dryers, razors, toothbrushes, etc. may not work without a voltage converter. Check the voltage required by your device before leaving on our trip. I too use my Apple Watch to pay for most things and rarely have an issue. I never need a PIN. Occasionally I'll be asked for a signature. Yes, use a card that doesn't charge international fees, like Chase Sapphire and other travel-oriented cards. Apple Card is another great choice. I often split the cost of meals and entertainment with my coworkers while I'm working there, but most don't use Apple Pay or Venmo. I've found that most have a Revolut account and its quite easy for me to exchange money and pull cash out at an ATM without extra fees using my own Revolut account.
I sometimes think about my children as being an "investment", but not in financial terms. We invested time, energy, love, and yes, money. We are so proud of our children! The "returns" can't be quantified.
We're remodeling our kitchen, ground level flooring, and fireplace. We live here, and it is for us to enjoy. I don't worry too much about it as an investment or something that we're doing for the next buyer. We don't plan to move any time soon. So, yes, it is worth it because it's what we want for our home.
