    I told my wife before we got married almost 20 years ago. I will support you and no one else. If you want to send money to any of your relatives, get a job and send your money. I never gave her access to my bank or credit card accounts. She has a job and I helped her to get her own bank account and credit card. She doesn't like to spend money, from the day we met until now. You need to keep your money completely separate. Because she's going to be under pressure from relatives to send them money. Sometimes things come up unexpectedly, so I have lent her money. She always pays me back.

      My wife also has access to one credit card which she rarely uses and it is never more than $100. I do this to keep her safe from emergencies. She has already proven herself to me to be financially responsible.

I'll chip in occasionally for big emergencies like major typhoon damage, etc. Rarely, will a Filipina ever be a full contributing partner. In most cases, your money will be the family money, and her money will HER money! 🤣 You MUST have boundaries or she'll transfer all of your net worth to her family in the Philippines.

  • @MrKaypet
    @MrKaypet 10 дней назад +1

    Brigitte L Jones. Want to say your previous video was excellent and had great insight about the reality of aging issues. You have tackled the NO topic well. It just doesn't just apply to girlfriends, but many Philippine people, the kids and the extended family need to be told NO as they don't understand a Western man's limits in finances or what he ought to really understand is appropriate to share with them. As a good guide the woman's son and relatives should only be given a small margin above what they would live off before that is really essential. Like the boy you have gets education fees covered plus perks like internet and basics of food the household has around. Birthdays and some special occassions are when something of a present (but not expensive) are provided. As your step son goes, you provide education, don't ever let him be rude and pushy (or else show him the door) and leave his male role models to younger male relatives.Your partner ought to have some money allocated in a trust fund if you become severely impaired and get the rest when you have exhausted any care you need and die. Stick to paying rego and bills yourself while you can still teach how to do this, even taking her along to see how and buy a nice lunch for a couples outing. You never want to put uneccessary temptation for a Philippina to get creative with money - even when well intended, but can have crazy ideas.

But coming here for the very young girls and expecting what is being sold is not transactional seems disillusioned to begin with. If you have issues being used for money, then select partners that the relationship between you and them are based on actual experience rather than just looks and youth. Reap what you sow.

    Good one Mike. The most important word here is NO. My wife always asks me permission for everything. She knows she has a good thing and does not want to lose it. Peo ple have a problem with the terms Sugar Baby and Sugar Daddy but that is exactly what these relationships and marriages are. Is there love involved? In many cases there is but it is still a Sugar relationship no matter how much love there is. Your girl must respect you for it to work. If she has respect, she will be open and honest with you in all aspects. You have to make your expectations clear from day one. I did that and everything works well. If your girl asks for something you do not agree with simply say firmly. NO BUDGET. They have used those 2 words their whole life.

      False... nothing to do with age gap relationships. If my partner or spouse has an ATM card there will be a limited (appropriate) amount of funds available to her.
      If the man isn't proficient to manage his funds, no relationship may be right for him (US or Philippines).
      Some men just want to be a victim.

    Very good advice. The fact that older expats are going to third world countries to find " love " comes with expectations. These young girls see you as a " mark ". It is so blatantly obvious. Play the game, but don't be oblivious to the expected con game. Financial security is their short game, and long game. Have fun, but protect yourself. If the current younger girl is with you, there are plenty more that are willing and waiting to take her place. If you see the obvious signs of a financial leach, just move on to the next one. You have the power. You should be making the rules. I completely agree. Man up, and move on to the next one. Be the rock star, not a simp. Remember, you're the one that's considered rich. And being rich in a third world country is being entitled. Why trap yourself ?

    It's a 2 way street. There are a lot of cheap expats that use the Filipina. And there are Filipinas that do the same to us. Some people are just caring and will give more. If it is going to hurt you to give extra than say no. So situations are case by case. To Just say No .....I agree if the result will hurt you. The Philippines is good for old guys like myself since it is easy to find much cheaper rent and younger Filipinas to help to care of us. Yes avoid scams and listen to sound advise that Vloggers like Mike give. But give by the heart also and don't be cheap with the person that is taking care of you.

      Brigitte L Jones. Leaving your home can be wise when elderly to avoid a confrontation where you are in a lesser position physically and from retribution done sneakily with many more to take their side than being a solo farang. Besides it seems an insult not to share with them when seeming to have the resources to.

I have also heard if you put your foot down then you are the " Cheap Charlie" and you have become the problem. Rent do not own girl friends. I hear a lot of men live by themselves because they cannot afford girl friends on their $ 1500 a month pensions.

    Probably an unpopular opinion: Thank God somebody is finally telling these guys the truth! As a woman looking at retiring in the Philippines (not going over looking for a relationship and no, I'm not a man hater), I watch video after video where Western men get together and tell each other they are traditional, alpha males who have found traditional relationships with young, beautiful Filipinas because they couldn't find a match in the States for whatever reason (generally some iteration of "western women are bossy"). Then comes the litany of complaints, often centering around these same guys not being able to handle the everyday issues that arise in a Western/SEA relationship. Not surprisingly, the self-defined "traditional" guys can't see that they might be a good chunk of the problem. There has got to be some self-reflection if the manbabies over there really want long term peace and happiness.

    Very good topic but I have to disagree with you on one point. As you said, a man has to be a man. He has to take charge of himself and his situation. By that logic, moving out of your own home rather than taking charge and forcing the deadbeat squatters to leave doesn't really fit. This is especially true if you're going to try and keep the girl because you have shown weakness and just given her another way to manipulate you. I mean seriously..... this whole video is about being a man, right? A real man would never allow himself to be forced out of his own home. A real man doesn't run away.

    Let me tell you, it's not pretty! 😲😵‍💫😡
    Now we're trying to decide who gets to live in the new house, and who has to move out. She can't provide for herself and teen Daughter on her income.

    In Iraq word came down in 2006 that checks were no longer accepted in lieu of cash. I asked around since I had to use cash to buy a Royal Jordanian ticket to get outta BIAP on leave. It turned out the wives/women stateside would go to the bank at 4:00 am EST on paydays and withdraw all money from the account. So 180K a year but their checks bounced. You could tell the guys this happened to. They were the ones using the Any Soldier box for their toiletries, pens, etc.
