What kind of proper job she can get? Ns full time can get 2k up, but let me do a little analysis. Burn me if I am wrong.

First u no hse and have very little cpf. If parents rich, different story.
So just start wrking full time and wan marry. Ok....thinking NT bad....
marry NT 100% get ltsvp so even if u have the cash, might even be getting a resale flat in 1 year or even longer.
She dont wan leech so she wan work. Rabbit blind also know what can she work as in here unless yr parents habe own buisness...but technically still the same, taking yr own money to give her salary.
So lets say she working as wl, which I dont find it non acceptable as long as got limits, how do u explain to yr parents why every night she goes out and come back so late?
Then u also need worry her and stay up late to wait for her and affect yr day job...

Think abt it.

good analysis...still got plenty more to add ma...who wants to add more...:)

The problem is a lot of parents nowadays are slaves to their grown up children. A young man who can think like that most probably comes from a middle income family and he believes that his parents can help him in many ways more than one. Just like a chap that i know. Marry a viet wife, cannot afford to feed her, still ask her to give birth to 2 kids. His children's diapers, milk and other expenses are all paid for by his parents. He and his family also stay with parents and live off them. He doesn't pay for anything in the household, all paid for by his parents. My wife asked his wife why still stay with his husband's parents since she doesn't like them, she said `why move out when everything is free?' I pity the parents. :(

Dun u think 1yr is a bit short to know and understand a person?

If she dun like walking there is public transport. Take public transport (exclude taxis) to save on $$.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I think what he means is the gal doesn't like to take public transport. I think he gone case liao. He has to go do his maths to see if he can afford the most simple CAT A COE first.

I like to encourage youngsters to venture out, but not to youngsters who overestimate themselves and is ignorant about the harsh realities of life.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Yeah true, just maybe 1 mth ago, I also thinking the same thing, marry marry love love, yhought very simple, but now enlighten. Lucky is we really love each other, so love do play a part in staying together after marry. One more lucky thing is also I have car have hse, and have a quite high paying job.

Only after marry do all the real problem come out. you will find out that the money u think u can save on NT going cheong after marry is not enough to maintain a married life.

Last time cheong finish every month have money left. Marry think no more cheong or cut down means can save money, who knows after marry, no cheong, lagi worst, every month no money....salary come in right pocket, go out left pocket.

Zion, I only 3 yrs older than u. I made what I think is the best choice in my life when I marry my bx...
Now think back, why cant I make the best choice of my life much more later...:D

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Good luck to u, u need a lot of "lucks"

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I do agree some of the things u share .
BUT ... Dun look down on them their wife ...

U think their wife can only works as WL ? Before knowing him she can be a WL ... But then after marry with proper VP, she can has many choices of proper job.

Last but not least, dun look down on others. U got no right to do do .. like I comment on your previous posting ... U are suppose to share your experiences n make him learn what's right n wats wrong ... Not looking down. On him or his gf

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Working as WL is NOT THE ONLY job they can work here.
And not everyone like u can take his wife go sell.
