Married Filipinos who send money to family back in Philippines

You can't even spell the word properly, it is FILIPINA not Phillippina. I am married to a USC and I'm not doing the things that you mentioned there. That's very nice of you humiliating my fellow filipinas. I'm sure no one believes in you.

I know, right? In our language, "nakakainis!!!!" Yes, I'm sure there are materialistic, opportunistic families our there, I'm not going to deny their existence. But I won't accept his stupid generalization. PWEDI BA. OVER MY DEAD BODY. As my friend, I don't need anyone to buy a ####*n Ferrari for me. I can work to get myself one (with Jimmy Choo boots to match!) Same goes for my family. They don't need the support of anyone else, much more my husband.

Like I said, find a race or nationality that is free from opportunistic free mongers. If you do, let us know...Maybe I can just migrate to that country

Oh, yeah, which reminds me...My Philippino family is sending me a box with goodies soon. And it has some loot for my USC husband too =D

He is just a stroll... Don't feed him. He likes attention and now he is getting it. We all know that not all FILIPINAS are like that. Have a good day to everybody!

when i wasnt working yet..my husband was the one sending money to my parents....enough for internet connection for them to talk to me everyday and also some for food...they already had a sari sari store and a little piggery business there in the Philippines before i met my husband..I am glad my parents are different from the others, they will just wait for us to send them money or they never mention about sending them money..They continue working hard on their business..in fact they were my first teacher who told me that money doesnt grow on trees.....my siblings are already married and they are having a good life also in the Philippines from working hard....Since i got a work here i send them 150 to 300dollars every month, depending on my paycheck...sometimes my husband will contribute half of the money that i am sending..so theres no tention between me and my husband...I am so blessed....

My sweet, pregnant filipina wife has no family to take care of, as you mentioned. She is alone in this world. She was better off without me, financially. She had a career as a school principal at the age of 34 already, and she also is what you would call an heiress. She inherited land in the Philippines, to make her wealthy, on top of her good federal income as principal. But she gave it ALL up to be with me. YOU offend me, your words do. Shame on you for your pig headed comments. You are very ignorant... about filipinas, about the filipino culture, and education-wise as well, as exhibited by your inability to write and communicate in any intelligent manner whatsoever. Go back to school, pal, and learn a thing or two about anything other than your dimwhitted little world, then come back here and share when you think you matured enough socially, mentally and emotionally.

hi Skidivawannabe...I am sorry.. .lol...I noticed that I addressed my anger to you by mistake!

When I was reading JULIUS CEASAR's post I was at work and can't wait to get home to answer his stupid and unmanly story!. I was shaking and ready to attack him!!!!. The way he wrote his post I can tell his uneducated person but I can't ignore his hurtful words against US.(FILIPINA)

Anyway, my husband and I disccused everything when it comes to financial matter. (especially sending money to PI) Both of us is working hard for the family to be happy.

Does the issue of sending money home (or how much you send) cause tension between you and your spouse? If so, how have you tried to resolve it?

What rules do you and your spouse follow regarding remittances (e.g. money only comes from Filipino spouse's pay)?

How do you determine the amount of money you send back to family in Philippines?

How do you distinguish legitimate needs vs. "nice to have"s?

How do you handle emergencies (real and imagined) that come up?

Have you ever cut any family members off financially? If so, why and for how long?

In my case we have no issue, we never argued about sending money. My husband is so generous and so nice to my family even the last money that he had he will send it if needed that's how giving he is, sometimes he is the one who will offer to send. If we have more money we can send more and if we have less then we will just send less. We are the one who support my brothers and sister in college till they graduate. That's why I am always be thankful to my husband for his undying support to me and my family.
