I would like to add:

Be it an ex working gal or not, the first priority is meeting the needs of her immediate family financially. I dun mean buying them expensive stuff every month, but the basic essential.
Like senior bros have shared, once those needs cannot be met, an ex working gal will turn back into the trade and then the stress placed onto the marriage. With a non ex working gal, she see situation no good she may just disappear one fine day, with or without the children.

Also please dun get the idea that the ever consistent $300 a month is good enough to keep her happy. She may be a nice person, but not every one in her family are. And while you try to brian-wash her, you will find that it is a very long and tedious task. Moreover, anyone from SG is view as well off fianacially to them.

Some readers may ask why all the trouble? marry local gals lor....
Local gals also has a price to pay. But up to now, I find more completeness with my viet wife. Can't describe it in words, have to experience it.
