In Rule of Law Singapore, both sexes need not worry too much upon the often scary prospect of marriage & the RESPONSIBILITIES it entails upon each other.
Love conquers all - is a saying, come hell or highwater, that successful marriage partners for life will testify, for they know that no two Humans think alike, & ultimately, it is COMMUNICATION daily, to discuss & find solutions in peaceful manner that will ELEVATE relationships, to loved ones, family, kids, relatives & friends.
Love begins as friendly relationships, & time is the ultimate judge for both to know each other better, to go further, for the long journey of life....
For married couples whom are NOT rich, the hope lays in RESPONSIBILITY to each other. It was LOVE that got one to make the COMMITMENT for life's journey. Humans will ALWAYS be able to progress, to elevate oneself with such commitments.
Today, one if just an ITE grad, earning $2.000/mth, but LOVE will compels one to bring MORE food to the table for loved ones. Smart & hardwork, upgrading skills, as well as seizing honest opportunities will see one earning BEYOND $2000/mth, to even $5000/mth in Singapore.
There is NO such thing as living happily forever. There will be trials & difficulties, but if the LOVE is strong to overcome difficulties thru Communications & finding solutions, each will see one another into old age...
For foolish & naive females whom presumed that their beauty & charms will SNARE a Billionaire, best they work out the ECONOMICS & social REALITIES:-
a) Billionaires are NOT fools. They got rich by SAVING money & NOT be being spendthrifts. Some may have sexual needs, but with their money, they can AFFORD many more SYTs whom turned into women by 21yrs old BY THE MILLIONS each year.
b) Thus the shell life of a mistress is at best 6mths, before the Billionaire gets tired & is snared by another more beautiful & SYT. Beauty & charms will fade over time,....
In economic sense -
i) $20k/mth is the going price of kept mistress. 6mths will be $120K & that's all she will get before being booted out & be replaced with another, as well as the hurt that will deepen in her mental worth & being....
ii) However, if she works hard at min $3K/mth in an honest job, she will gain $36K/yr, & in mere 10yrs - $360K, & MORE in her lifetime without DEPENDENCE by being a mistress. She would have gained much more in financial terms as well as DIGNITY as a Human, & be even perhaps a loving wife to a hardworking salaryman & mother of kids, into old age & be taken care of...
All Humans had been gifted with Free Will - male or female. Thus may each see & think further than the length of their nose upon lifetime consequences....
