Here’s the solution as I see it.michael.stewart1 wrote:...I can start accumulating assets in Russia where I dream about acquiring citizenship. To be honest I would rather have a Russian woman dominate me than a Khmer one.
Your Khmer girlfriend is clearly a rental for you. Please let her know this and can work out an agreeable rental fee per month, as well as a expectations for both parties.
She needs to know that you will dump her in the end and will marry a Russian girl. She needs to know that she has no future with you.
It will be hard to do, but it’s the right thing to do.
Sorry for the super harsh delivery.

He's never been to Russia and as far as we know he has never even met a Russian woman. He may have weird dreams about Russia but that doesn't mean they will ever happen.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 12:32 am

Re: What is a decent income for living in Cambodia?
Perhaps a rich guy died who hated the institution of marriage. Maybe he assumed, "If my son gets married, it will just end in divorce with the wife taking half his money, so I'd rather that my money goes to my brother else once my son marries."
Or in olden times someone might say "I want my daughter to have income until she's married and then all my money goes to the church."
But I'm also curious, michael.stewart1, who gets the money if you marry and why?

It could also be that whoever set up the trust fund with that lien, also knew that boyo was incapable of making good life decisions, and put in the caveat so that (they hoped) he wouldn't squander it all on a poorly decided spouse??? It seems so far, that those trust-fund decisions were , shall we say, prescient??Sweet Lemon wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 12:53 amPerhaps a rich guy died who hated the institution of marriage.

Rich kid born with a silver spoon in his gob? He gets $1300 a month. He could have been the only child of very middle class parents who saved some money and bought a modest hom ein the 1980's and who died with a net worth of $500,000 - $600,000 left to him. That's not the life of a rich kid.WildA wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 10:36 am
Dude you are a rich kid english teacher who apparently not live without some Asian chick by your side to make you feel manly because you were born with a silver spoon in your gob and thats all you know. Ditch the babe and go back to the states and go lay some pipe or do construction for a year or two. Even better, join the Marines. Learn what its like in the world. Then maybe you wont be whinging about some Asian chick that pushes you around and wants an allowance.

Real Trust funds usually dont pay principle monthly, but rather, the pricincipal is paid when the trust terminates,among other things. They pay interest. Try that calculation at like 4% interest like a substantial trust fun would generate.Sweet Lemon wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 8:34 am$600,000 could be paid out at $1300 a month for 38 years with 0% interest.
Regardless, Starting off life with even 600K in the bank skews ones worldview

Got bad news for you.
No Russian woman is interested in dominating a wuss. They like real men. They expect you to drink and swear and work hard and fix things. Don't do any of those four things then forget it.
To answer your original question. Don't forget a decent income includes good medical insurance. If your living in your GF house that she owns then something in the $1500 a month neighborhood would be comfortable for the two of you. You could go out to eat occasionally, buy her gifts occasionally, travel every once in a while and generally not have to be overly concerned about money.
