Would you love someone poor in Singapore?
-
I am a guy. It's a fact that living in Singapore is a very tough one if there isn't enough money to go by. What happens if in the choice of a partner, there appears to be many however the dilemmna is who to choose? Someone you love or someone whom you can foresee to have a future with espcially in the area of finances.
I am hesitating to go after someone I like the reason being she's not well-educated. I know many of you will say to go after love but what happens 10 or 20 years down the road when the realities of life steps in. It's tough even for a guy to support a family all by himself here in Singapore. I am talking about the average family here.
What would you do if you are just an average guy and you this choice presents itself to you. Should I wait for a better one or should I go for it? -
go for it..
she may be poor now but can u gurantee 10-20 years down the road she still poor?
and by rejecting someone just because she's poor is stupid -
believe in yourself. -
Some things in life are foreseeable and not as rosy as what inspiration gurus says. I have seen a few guys going down this path and they ain't happy when the honeymoon ended.

When it's love... It's love...
-
you love her or her money?
but seriously... what are you looking for? -
Love is a just a reason for teenagers to have sex. Hehe sorry for the frank statement but when you have seen the realities of life, it's harsh. No money will lead to a lot of problems when married even though the beginning is beautiful. I looking for someone I can love and live in for a long long time and hopefully forever.

How old are you?

i kind of pity this kind of cynicism.. really...
if it is easily broken by something as mundane as money, it isn't love... it's just trade.. and there is a word for those who trade money for sex..Originally posted by love?:Love is a just a reason for teenagers to have sex.

hmm.. i suppose u are a "he" right? 1st time i heard a man asking this question. if i m the gal who u like, i will be very sad to know this. Because as a man, shouldnt you be confident, fighting outside and supporting the family, though your wife will also work and support the family as well.Originally posted by love?:I am a guy.

may i ask are u working now? salary at what range? your qualification? and which level is considered low education?
my point of view is, if 2 persons' qualification level different a lot, there may be communication breakdown.
but did u ever wonder, a high qualification gal may "want & need" more, are u able/ willing to support her want & need next time as she may want a higher level of living standard? -
to add on... if u are already hesitating now, i will advise u not to go after her. as next time "touch wood", if there is really financial problem, u will definately regret wooing her and marrying her.Originally posted by love?:I am a guy.

love or breadOriginally posted by allentyb:what is this thread about? -
I think that has nothing to do with whether the girl is poor or not.... But more like a separate issue altogether...?Originally posted by love?:Some things in life are foreseeable and not as rosy as what inspiration gurus says.

maybe the chap's in love with a pretty but materialistic girl ? ...
seriously, if you're looking for a wifey, stay away from those mahjong playing, spa going chicks ... even if you're a millionaire, you'll become poor someday because of her ... and don't wonder if she'll be a good mother to your children either ... -
Hmmmm... interesting thought, and I thought only girls worry about that... On a more serious note, being in a r/ship isn't just about sharing bills... It's sharing a life together, the good and the bad...Originally posted by love?:I am a guy. It's a fact that living in Singapore is a very tough one if there isn't enough money to go by.

So what is "enough"???? Since when is it ever "enough"?
There are families whose combined income is not less than $3k a month, sure they live in a smaller house, they cannot enjoy some of the luxuries... But that doesn't mean they cannot live a fulfilling and happy life together right?
If you are concerned about her education level, maybe you can help the girl in question to up-grade herself? These days, there are many schemes provided by the government to help people like her...
I agree that life isn't easy in Singapore... But that doesn't mean you cannot achieve anything without the paper qualifications... that shouldn't stop anyone from achieving... If you want it, want it bad enough, you will know how to work towards it.
All the best! -
Hmmm.. You have road to choose can either remain poor or like my fight all my way though to become rich and success...I am on the process to becoming successful so if u need advice or just chit chat u can PM me...

A guy posting this?
Excuse me while I laugh -
Even the government also don't support the poor, since the GST is for the welfare.
