Hi TS,
When I first came out of army my dad dumps everything to me.
I have to pay my HDB, pub and everything else with my 1.4k salary.
My love was in poly that time so we do the cheap stuff. Like play computer games together [free only need to download or buy games], watch rental movie instead of go out for show [sometimes TV series lol], take BUS rides to tour Singapore [was quite fun lol], eat only market and hawker food etc
But we promise each other 7 years later we will save enough money to go Forida, USA to visit her dream disneyland. And now that I am earning big bucks and she has a normal job we go tour twice a year etc.
To keep it short, find a girl whom can "suffer" with u first. If she can love you when u are poor, she will probably stick with you for life. But one thing about woman is....once u give them "high-life" it's hard to expect them to come down.....and suffer. At least that's what I observed.
