Money Requests.

[Cippy]

I'm lucky, seven years in the money requests are few and far between. We still do get them from immediate family, but only for emergencies, like needing to eat.

That's why I just about crapped my pants when I got a random message from a girl I haven't spoken to in years. A "friend" my wife grew up with but has not spoken to since she moved to America four years ago. The message was not meant for me. The problem with your wife choosing your profile pic is its always of her and the kid. Funny enough I changed my profile pic today because I was getting so many friend requests from Thai friends and family and I have reached my limit. 555

What makes this request so messed up is this girl, who had lived and worked in Korea just fell into some money. About a year ago, her parents who sell "Tah-lee" lottery were stuck with an bunch they could not sell. Well they ended up with the jackpot, or about 6 of the 9(?) tickets that were a jackpot. A cool ฿30,000,000 baht. The house in BKk and one in the village, and the cars to follow.

So, no hello, how are you. Just mistakenly sent me a message, thinking I am my wife saying "I need to borrow money." The woman just got back from Japan!

No, and this is Cippy, do not ask my wife for money! (She speaks and reads English, but I guess not enough to read my name 555).

This typically happens to poor people in America too who win the lottery, they lose it all. These people lost around a million US in two years. Oei.

I am still incredulous. Luckily my wife now shields me from these requests. She just told me there are only two people in Thailand she now considers friends. Her best friend who she grew up with and a Mate's S.O. "Because they are the only two who have never asked me for money or expected something from me. 555

My wife is cheap as hell when it comes to lending money

She has no issue saying no to anyone

As for the requests
If a TG marries a guy with a backbone she will soon learnt to say no and know you aren't giving it, with the exception of emergencies

It's really not that hard

I get far too many requests for money, but it's because I've been too generous in the past. I get pleasure from helping people become financially independent, but I don't want to be treated like an ATM. And I don't want them to become totally dependent on me for support. There is a time coming soon when I won't be around anymore. It's like paying for a child's education at university, but they don't study or put in any effort. At some point they are going to be on their own.

I think a lot of the people (not all) that constantly get asked for money are the ones that show off on Facebook posting photos of shopping, expensive cars, houses etc. The people at the other end think they are loaded so would ask for money.

That's not us! Its all the kid on Facebook. I just argue with idiot Trump supporters.

I think this situation is unique though, they had a million dollars and obviously flushed it down the toilet. Maybe now some payments they can't make.

I wasnt suggesting it was you.

So many people that win money blow it they should make people that win have some sort of adviser that helps them invest or something.

Was a Aboriginal lady in Perth that won a packet, same thing lost the lot. Gave most away to free loaders

Yeah, sorry, rereading my post it did sound defensive, wasn't what I was trying to get across.

Here's a positive story re Thai girls , the wife's cousin just bought her husband a Dodge Charger for Christmas. She's been saving up for some time. She claims she makes $250/ a day cleaning houses for developers that are for sale. They live in a very wealthy suburb of Honolulu.

You should ask her for a loan...........555

When Ao 1st came to Vancouver we put an ad up in my apartment building offering cleaning services
If people wanted their apartment cleaned every week or so

The 1st call she got was from a management company
They would pick her up and she'd clean 2/3 apartments per day and she was making anywhere from 100-200/day

What a score on the very 1st score

So 250/day isn't out of the question for this girl to make

With immediate family, the history has been to lend a small amount e.g. 2000, and happily do it again if paid back, but never a second loan if the first isn't paid back. This was in place before I was on the scene.

Yes I've done that and stuck to it

Ao's one brother refused to pay me back when I paid 50k(may have been 100k, I forget) to keep the 2 brothers out of jail
The really good one paid me his share and the brothers

The one who didn't pay me back. No actually refused to pay me back
That dude could be lying in the hospital and Ao knows he will never see a dime from me
And she agrees with that

The other brother.....he has any credit he wants
He's borrowed to start a business, for his wedding
And he's always paid me back

 

[Ian Forbes]

Once bitten, twice shy.

I'm more likely to help some bum in the gutter than somebody who has screwed me. I help lots of people knowing full well they can't pay me back. But, that is entirely different than a real loan with the expectation that they will attempt to pay it back.

We know this girl back home that told her Aust husband her family needed 30k AUD "loan" to pay the bank because the bank was about to for close on the house. He paid it.

My wife said to her (in Tagalog) I thought your family own the house. Because she told my wife they owned it before.

This girl said yeah they do but she needed the money for something else and was laughing about it.....like my husband is dumb he will pay type of attatude. We were all there when they had this conversation and she was like bosting about it.

The next day I told him, she doesn't talk to us anymore.

But he's an idiot, plain and simple

I'd never give that much to anyone
If they were dumb enough to need 30k they aren't getting it from me

Maybe......but I bet in a emergency a lot of guys would help out the wife's family.

She is just a scammer, true he is a idiot but for marring her not for what he thought was helping her family.

I'm happy to help in an emergency. The problem is they never stop, just one after the other. The best thing I ever did was allow my wife access to all my accounts. Probably not the best way to go for a lot of guys. But, now she realizes just how much of a percentage I had been spending on them. The year I spent in the village I spent upwards if 10% of my income trying to get a businesses going for my in-laws trying to get them independent. She sees that now and she's more protective of our money than I am.

I think I am also in a unique situation in that she could very well end up out earning me. She is getting straight A's and has been the top of her math classes two semesters in a row. I encouraged her to go straight for her Bachelor degree. RN's in California start out at around $70,000/year. Not a stretch to say I think she'll go on to be nurse practitioner, then I retire. 555

I'd honestly let them take the house
Doesn't matter who they are that 30k isn't my issue
And if someone got in the whole 30k on their house they did something very stupid or negligent to get there and they'd never pay you back

I consider emergencies something someone couldn't prevent
