Olga Moderator send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/9/2004 10:41:09 AM   Why not? if they have money they support parents usually. Again, it depends on a person, and relatives. Sometimes relatives help too. I know one couple USA/Russian, when he lost job, she was still student, and her parents even helped them with funds. I think it doesn't depend if you are from former USSR or not. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/9/2004 11:25:16 AM   It makes perfect sense when only a small and non-essential portion of the western household income is enough to support the basic or ocassional emergency needs of elderly parents in other countries. toad wessman Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/9/2004 12:28:21 PM   What does not make sense is the purpose of the question oh excuse me check the source, now geri it is your job to completely reseach this question and report your findings back here on just how much money is sent to Russia and the FSU that is for family support. See you in a year or two, remember the the secretary will disavow any knowledge!!! groon Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/9/2004 1:12:12 PM   This is common practice. There's no problem with helping out the family. Within reason... GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/9/2004 8:19:31 PM   Yes, Groon... As an example I'll tell you my own story. I have been making monthly transfers to my mother in Argentina regularly for almost 15 years now. it's not a large amount because she is retired and all her medical services are covered by the state. But even getting a few 100s on a monthly basis is enough to awaken the greed in unscrupulous people around her. It's amazing the amount of 'new' relatives she keeps discovering year after year, lol... If I was to answer every request from every person who's asked for money outside my immediate family, I'd be broke right now. toad shaggy47435 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/10/2004 1:28:23 AM   Toad did your mom retire there from the states or is she a native. My mother use to be coordinator for the Univ. of Missouri system and they had allot of folks retire to Mexico as their retirement let them live very well there compaired to the same amount in the US. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/10/2004 2:24:26 AM   native, lol??? she is a born, raised and retired Argentinian citizen shaggy47435 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/10/2004 10:26:31 AM   I think you know what I mean...lol I think thats great you take care of her this way. Most of usl owe our parents for what and who we are. tordenskjold_fan Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/10/2004 2:16:29 PM   -but it adds another issue for a hidden agenda. (-not only is 'she' seeking a better life for herself, she is also planning a better life for the family she left behind.) shaggy47435 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/10/2004 6:13:31 PM   I see your point but is it hidden in your relationships that you will support your parents if they need you? I think this is human nature to think of such especially for them as they know what they are leaving their parents in. I think many Americans sometimes forget and just look for the parents to support them... It is a little twisted by the get rich quick idea that much of our youth seem to seek. If I where you I would count on your sincere woman to think of her family and their health and safety. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/11/2004 12:14:55 AM   Torden, I'd much rather marry a woman who wants to find a way to care for her elderly parents when she is away living with me. Let's get real, U$S100 per month buys a lot of security and piece of mind in most FSU, latin american, african, asian and other countries. And how much does it take to produce it in the US, uh uh uh uh? Not much. Therefore, taking care of elderly parents is not a problem. toad geriatrix Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/11/2004 9:09:00 AM   I am not disputing any of the above. I am simply asking a question. And I hate surprises (well, most of them, anyway).

No, therefore you state that taking care of elderly parents depends on the price. Of course you will echo that 'MANY' understand you wrong - but it IS what you say! So, if one cannot afford it - something which is more judgemental than financial - then Houston, we've got a problem... jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/11/2004 4:32:25 PM   Thunder: Nothing wrong with doing a little cost analysis here. Unless there are billionaires or multimillionaires among our membership - we are ALL of limited means. And it makes sense to be sure that we CAN afford the woman we find. I paid (or rather TimH paid (thanks Tim....)) $32.00 for a simple meal at a pub in downtown London. London is an expensive city to live in. If I had to pay for an elderly couple to live in London in addition to all of my current expenses, as a condition of marrying the woman I chose - I might reconsider. And in reality I think most of us would have to think twice - even though we are not fundamentally against against the idea of supporting mom and dad. But in an FSU country those costs are much lower and more reasonable. I don't think there is anything wrong with determining it to be a problem or not a problem based on whther or not you can afford it. (By the way... I paid for dinner, after TimH paid for lunch. Not a welcher here.) geriatrix Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/17/2004 1:27:03 PM   -Another issue to consider, and talk about.. -before...
