2. Internet + cable TV. est 700k??

3. her bro education: he is studying abt sec4 lvl plus with home tutor lessons : 1 mil??

4. basic utility bills: 2mil??

5. medical bills for mum & grandma and allowance for her grandma: 2mil??

6. milk powder for baby: 1 mil??

7. Home cook food : 2mil?

8. Mthly visit to her another elder bro in jail + kopi $$ for guards: 2.5mil?

What i estimated is ard 12 mil/800-900sing based on her expenses she quoted me. Hope some 1 can advice me on the actual expenses. I dont really wan to give too much to her as it is quite taxy for me in the long run and also not good for her mentality .
Thks alot!!!
If your bx is just only a gf, cut her lose. If really bx, god bless you.

1. About right for a small house in D8. Is she staying around Duong Ba Trac?

2. 700K is too much. FPT unlimited 100Mbps internet only 280K and
VTV cable 80K for almost 70 channels

3. His tuiton fee probably around 500K and school fee for state-run school
is very cheap(less than 200K)

4. Too much. My estimate for her house - electricity max. 800K, water less than 100K, landline phone less than 100K

5. Vietnamese often buy medicine from the neighbourhood pharmacy(nha thouc tay), seldom sell doctor. Pharmacy medicine per visit usually costs less than 50K. Vietnamese always sick, but seldom dies.

6. If imported mik powder, 1 mil is about right. If it's Vinamilk, amount is
around 700K

7. Correct amount

8. Her elder bro also draws a salary while in jail.

Did you marry her extended family financial problems? Good luck........you need alot of it.
