Sancho,
please don't ask!
I have read they like it circulating (money, of course). They don't know what next month will bring, they don't believe in banks and insurance companies, so it's best to use it immediately. They will always find a way to survive...
Sorry.
Money is an important topic...
If they don't agree on money matters, they will have a serious problem - particularly if they have a tight budget...
But there are many more topics that need to be discussed...
An important one is 'World-view' - politics or religion, etc.
(what's Right or Wrong, etc.)
And each couple has their own ideas about what they need to agree on, and what they can agree to disagree on...
Guys (and Pitchka)
It is not essential for the western man and the FSU woman to be 'money compatible' beyong the basic understanding and agreement that since the man will be the primary and usually the sole money earner in the family, he will also have the primary and final authority and decision about how the money he earns will be spent, saved, invested, etc etc....
Few, if any, FSU women marry western men and come to the west to build money earning careers that match or surpass their husbands earnings.
So simply put, the perfect match money wise between east and west is that of a man who earns enough to support a family and a woman furgal enough to help him keep as much of it as possible.
I know many happy couples who see it this way and do not complicate matters where there's no reason to it.
I also know many people who live in financial misery because they either spend more than they make or have married someone who refuses to play team ball with the family monies.
Hey it is the same where ever you go once you get married, What's her's is her's and what's yours is her's, now let's move on! Just get Mo' money!!
Oh Yeah! By The Way, you are generalizing again, how many tomes have i told you this,Quit generalizing, all women are not the same, find one and ask what her view is about the money if you do not like what she says move to the next one, I guess you did not read the book, did you? we can tell!
