      Maybe......


      Man must 'chop' early early........before the woman taste financial independence ie. working woman. Then these not-so-rich-men will stand a better chance during schooling days cos still difficult to gauge what is their earning power in FUTURE 😉

      But alas, think boys always mature slower than girls. From Secondary/JC onwards, boys progress in an amazingly slow pace so much so that they standstill at NOW (visual)....while women stride towards the FUTURE :evil:

          Local women are not being materialistic. They are just being practical, just like the saying goes, 爱情不能当面包吃. 😉

            I think most local men also very practical. Prefer independent women who can help to \"sponsor\" a bit at home. 😉

              What to do?

              Even we don't talk about branded items but the elderly sick is another big expenses even we choose the Government C Class.

              Recently my mum need to inplant a Pacemaker and the medisave can only dedected $1500 and we had to pay cash of $2000++ to the hopsital immediately when she admitted. :rant:

                So very true.
                I've seen ex-colleagues who marry wives a few years older. They told me they are more stable and have been working longer than them (with NS etc). Some marry women of higher status than them and even move in to stay with the wife's family. Wise guys huh? 😉 :evil:

                  Yes, the govt made local women practical, not materialistic. It's not just the local women but PRC too !

                    Brenda, hope your mum is recovering well.
                    Yes, healthcare cost is really high here.
                    There's this saying that we can die but cannot fall sick. 😉

                      LOCAL men shouldn't say women are materialistic. Some of these men want their wives to continue working to help them support the family so that they can still go for holidays, pay for mortgage on condo and change new cars.
