That's fantastic news, congratulations. I'm a bit behind on the news because I've been busy with work the last couple of evenings. (trying to earn some extra cash to send to the Phil'sOriginally Posted by stevewool

Seriously, I wish you and Emma all the best, and hope that you get her over with you very soon
I don't think that is quite right, and why wouldn't you want to know what you were funding??You mention about doing a expenditure list
That is so demeaning, Kieth. I can't imagine saying that to my wife and I can imagine even thinking that
.
My Mahal may be going back to Phils if she does not get a continuation visa in Singapore, she is worried about that, so I said that I can help support her. So the very first thing you need t oknow is 'exactly' what the monthly expenditure is. Water, electric, gas, internet, food etc etc. Make a list, make sure you are happy to help cover the simple living costs. Of course you want to treat your lady as a princess, treat her to the nicer things in life, and if you can afford it, do it. But what I mean to say is that you have to budget, and not be an open wallet. I suppose it is a case of mutual respect.
I dont remember posting about making an expenditure list but as steve says you could call it a budjet
What I do know is the cost of living and dying its been hard earned and Im happy to share my experiences
Like Fred I also dont give a damwhat any of you send but if all the guys here send me a tenner I will relocate in a moment and be ever so grateful

Ditto SirYou mention about doing a expenditure list
That is so demeaning, Kieth. I can't imagine saying that to my wife and I can imagine even thinking that
I have trusted my wife totally from the start. You can't go into a relationship thinking you will be riped off
It will never work, Kieth, sleeping with one eye open, checking your change etc etc.
The magic word is trust
Could either of you Gentlemen point me in the direction of my "Expenditure" post ?

You miss my point, Steve. My wife or then g/f is perfectly capable to work this out all on her lonesome, without not me breathing over her shoulder, tutting and shaking my head
The lady shoud be encouraged to take the lead in all this. Of course you have to tell her what funds are available then she should cut her cloth accordingly. Not for one moment did I think it would be spent on jollies for her family and friends, I trusted her, Steve.
As for open wallets, this is how it is with us. We both know what we have and we both know what we can and can not afford, yes, I agree, is a case of mutual respect and that thing called trust.
I can't find it either, and your name come to mindCould either of you Gentlemen point me in the direction of my "Expenditure" post ?
Thanks for the sorry gwap accepted nice to be in your mind
P.S my Daughter says your attitude is great much better than mine and she would dearly love to share finances with you as I sometimes ask her inconvienient questions

You are going to ask those inconvenient questions to your Daughter, for sure!Thanks for the sorry gwap accepted nice to be in your mind

Hi gwap. yes, I understand what you meant. I also trust my Mahal. But I still like to know for my own piece of mind, that way I can budget/plan for the nicer things and treats.
I guess we are all sure of our partners because of our trips and daily communication. For those who might read this as noobs or early in relationships, who are being asked to send money, this thread has a very cautionary air about it and highlights real experienced views.
You mean untill she matures and learns to balance her booksYou are going to ask those inconvenient questions to your Daughter, for sure!

Like others have said, it all depends on the stage of the relationship and I was lucky to spend a lot of quailty (months at a time) time with Jane before we married.
2 weeks here and 2 weeks there was not enough for meIt would of been like 'honeymoon' vacation each time, that is not real living.
We played house and got to know everything about eachother, warts and all
So when we married there would be no surprises
I was drifting off the point of the question, sorry about that.
In our house, we have the monthly direct debit list on the fridge, we know when bills are due and how much money is needed in that account at any given time in the month.
Both of us know exactly what we got, or what we haven't got to spend. Everything is an open book.
YesYou mean untill she matures and learns to balance her books
having the time to spend getting to know one another is very difficult for many of us on here its either by phone or the internet and if we are lucky 4 weeks a year seeing one another, but you know what, i know i want to spend the rest of my life with emma wher ever we both may be, like you say gwap, i want a open book in our life too
Good man, Steve
You have been very open on here with your threads and posts, Steve. I can't see you being any different in real life, we are what we are, we can't change what we are
I have been stung just like you
You are a very nice man Steve, I'm sure it will all work out for both you and Emma
hello there,
i have read that someone sends 300 quid a month. well, it all depends upon the situation of your girlfriend. If shes paying everything like rent, utility bills and more, that is enough. however, if she is not paying for her rent and lives with a relative, 100 to 150 quid a month is enough. Just save your money when your girlfriend comes to England
And when she comes?

shopping spreeAnd when she comes?
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
Give yourself a pat on the backAnd when she comes?
I nearly asked that question myself Keith but thought it might be a bit personal..And when she comes?
I`ll wait for the answer though...While Im here.
Sending money to your loved ones in the Phils. is such a nice generous act. But to how much is a thing you and only you can determine unless you have lots of extra funds to waste that you wouldn't even bother and won't even mind to ask where will the money go and where will it be used.
I know it would take LOTS of TRUST and LOVE for a guy to send some of his earnings to a filipina who is thousands of miles away from him. Some guys may have that trust and love in their hearts but still hesitate to send money maybe because of a bad experience.
I'd say that every filipina, whatever her motives is, will always appreciate her bf's generosity. Getting to experience a better life because of you sharing a part of your blessings will always be appreciated by your partner. Sadly though, some filipinas abuse this generosity.
hello there , its nce to have feedback from others on here and not just your partner, some of us have been burned before and it does take time to find someone again and having that trust , but it does come back its working together and always asking what you feel you should ask even if it hurts you,
Hmmmm... Might be a bit tight Steve..
It depends where she drinks!
the cost of living in philppines is 5x cheaper or more, so if the amounts remitted are convert, it is the equivelant to to somebody sending me here £2500/£3000 per month.
if a kind person was sending me that kind of cash in the uk, i would love it.
i would not work, go to the town shopping everyday have a kfc then maybe cinema watch the latest movie, then trade in my mobilephone because it is one month old. sounds familar
my wifes auntie is a school teacher and is paid £150 per month, she is the bread winner for the whole family (6+ adults)and they live a normal life, not easy but they are content
100% fred is correct
Thanks for the endorsement solidsnake.. Just trying to keep it honest!!100% fred is correctwith his budgeting,
hello pretty filipina, im a westerner heres your £10 a week, im sure you can manage on that.
how cheaply one can live, doesnt mean we want our filipina wife too or are some just tights
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
make me laugh...

you may want to give her vaccine for pneumonia, rotatech ,hib, dpt, pcv, influenza shots...i think bcg, hepa b, measles, chicken pox, hepa a is given free by the goverment but am not sure about that.Thank you for saying that..
Fortunately she is in perfect health now and is in good hands with us.
Money is of no consequence to us in regards her well being.
We have found that the nurses and doctors in the provincial hospital are really far better than those in the private sector here in Bohol and I admit that I completely misjudged them after she was born.
Perhaps you could tell me which vaccines she may have missed due to barangay financial restraints and I will check her card.
Fred.
