Money is so important until a large proportion of them are willing to sacrifice dignity and other positive virtues just to get money. I was once like any other bro who has just got in touch with viet culture and language, curious and loving. But after being in touch with them for over 6 years, my love for their country and people have turned from curious to understand to negative. I am happy that my wife have understood the good virtues of the outside world and have practised them. Money is important, but we need to earn it with our efforts and earn it with pride, cheating and lies will not get anyone far.

Well said bro, I fully agree. I haven't marry a Vn yet but I saw the importance of "tien". Always Khong co tien......
