        Spendthrifts and tightwads marry each other
        \_ in general white guys are spendthrifts ande white girls
           are even bigger spendthrifts. don't marry white if
           you want to save.
           \_ Don't marry Asian if you want to have a life.
              \_ They make pretty decent mistresses tho.  They'll
                 pretty much do anything.
                 \_ Is this really true?
              \_ ha ha ha ha h aha there's so much truth to
                 this. I guess grass is really greener on the
                 other side. BTW I'm the guy who always
                 brings lunch from home and microwave
                 ethnic food to save money. By the way, at
                 what point do you tell your family members
                 that you've sent home as much money as you
                 want to?    -bored & married Asian, no debt
              \_ Yeah, I am always having to fight with my Asian wife to
                 convince her to do things like go on vacation, but when I
                 really put my foot down, she goes. I have an allowance so that
                 I can buy things like football tickets and fine wines, or we
                 would fight all the time. The upside is that we have lots of
                 money in our bank account! -white guy
                 \_ I hope you realize that very likely, none of your money
                    will be spent on a dream vacation home, Porsche,
                    or that world cruise you've been dreaming about.
                    Traditional Asians put all of their money into
                    their kids, be it education, golf lessons,
                    dental school, down-payment for their kids'
                    home, so on and so forth. Being Asian is to
                    sacrafice oneself for posterity. Being Asian
                    is to suffer now, and not enjoy later.   -miserable
                    \_ You forgot about taking care of the old parents
                       and buying them a home near you so they can "visit."
                    \_ Agreed, and this includes not only money, but also time.
                    \_ We are going to an all incluve resort in Cabo next week!
                       \_ Update. She made the vacation misable by constantly
                       \_ Update. She made the vacation miseraable by constantly
                       \_ Update. She made the vacation miserable by constantly
                          complaining about everything and arguing with everyone
                          on the trip. She did drop the hint that next time we
                          should go someplace that is more educational for the
                          kids. So next time I am going to try and get her to
                          agree to a vacation in Paris so "the kids can see
                          the Louvre." Wish me luck!
                          \_ What does she have against Mexicans? FYI Cabo is
                             very nice and seriously, it's not *real* Mexico.
                          \_ How long have you been married? I'm guessing
                             "too long." Welcome to the club.
                                                -over 15 years, no more sex
                             \_ When did the sex stop? The day after the
                                wedding? Seriously, though, at what point?
                             \_ Dating 10 years, married 6. -2 kids, still sex
                             \_ Married 13 years, sex great, working on kid 1.
                                \_ WTF? Are you like, sterile?
                                   \_ Some of us chose not to have kids early
                                      in life like our Mormon friends do.
