I think it is easier if you can give some prerequisite or state the SIL statistics. Better if there is a photo with her face blank off...

just my 2 dongs worth...

Bro ..

since you are calling her 'gf', i guess she shouldn't not doubt her ... buying her a bed or matressess won't kill you

Whether anot she is ploying you for money ... only you know ... your gf mah ...

But then if she ask you 1 million dong to buy 1 matress which only cost about 200,000dong or else ... maybe she is ploying your $$$ ...

Think the positive side ... or else ... you always think here and there ... cause the real answer ONLY you know ...

for a normal viet gal that hails from the province and rents a room in the city, a simple mattress will be more than good enough. 500K VND will be good enough for a reasonable mattress. I think she will also ask you for money to buy blanket, fan etc. Why waste a Singapore ATM when its readily avaliable

hahhaha, good one. Different culture leads to lower understanding level. And with the normal viet from the province thinking that every other foreigner prints money in their own country, so their demands are high. So why should we be giving so much when we do not have? That's when we question. Trust takes time to cultivate.

I remember i used to have a neighbour at PMH, Q7. She's married to a taiwanese man and has a daughter. Her husband always ask her to learn mandarin. So my wife recommended her a good chinese teacher. The fee is cheap, at only 400K a month, 3 times a week. But in order to get more money from her husband, she told her husband its 1 million VND a month. After she learn for 4 months, she stopped, but still tell her husband she still learning. For a small family of only 3, her husband gave her 3 million VND a month for food, she go buy the cheapest things and she told my wife she save around 1 million VND a month. She save all these money to give to her mother, who is a greedy old lady (typical of most vietnamese old ladies in the province who make the daughter work as hooker to feed the whole family). Her husband still give her mother around 2 million VND a month.

This is the reason why i have tight control of my family finances. I let my wife spend on good food, clothes, cosmetics etc and i send just a small token to her parents each month. I remember when i sold my first property for a neat profit some years back, my wife keep saying she wants me to give her half the amount and told me not to control her on spending that. I told her NO. I explain to her we need to save for our children's education as its not cheap. So we started a joint account and saved the money in there. After that, she understands. Now after a few properties, we save te profit in the same account.

So its always good to explain to your wife about life here in Singapore, and if have kids, the amount needed to send the kids thru university. they will understand. Communication is very important

Bro,
She wants a queen size bed so that when I go there, I can sleep with her. Bro can highlight to me roughly how much a queen size bed cost? Normal type lah, not Dunlopillow or King Koil, otherwise my ATM card will spoil. Actually I think single size mattress put on the floor will do. Why must waste money buying Queen size bed ? I don't mind sleep on the floor.

Another thing she don't have a T.V, but she does not ask lah, any body know how much a T.V cost over there ? If want so many things I will die cock standing.

not trying to scare you bro, but such things happen too frequently. so what if you install a camera and caught her for something you are not willing to see, you cannot do anything to her. just be careful and cautious
