I think if get enough info its easier to see which versions fits closest to your own circumstances I long ago got out of the idea that the uk version of life was the only valid modelOriginally Posted by bornatbirth
theres a lot of nonsense in this thread
seems to me, we all have lifes, wifes and experiences different to each other.
trying to pay the bills, saving up and sending our to gf/wife can be very difficult for us
i could of sent my wife £500 a month and it would of been spent, due to that being my saving, i would of never saved anything!, so i didnt send her anything and she had to make do.
i do find it funny that some think you can live on next to nothing, £100 doesnt go far!
Ive lived well on little money and had times where i spent a lot but didnt enjoy it so much seeing life from different perspectives in my view is helpful in understanding other cultures and this may mean for us that we understand our partners more
