Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by MrBlack1: 11:32pm On Jun 10, 2010 |
Hello Nairalander's, I am about to take a decision and would really appreciate your candid opinions on this Issue. I am a young man who happens to be a student, but work during the holidays. I have a girlfriend based in the US whom i have been dating for 5 years. She has only resided in the US for 1 1/2 years and intends to come visit but cannot afford to buy her air fare ticket. I was able to save some money from my last vacation job and if i have to get her air ticket, then i will be left with only 25% of my savings which will still be spent upon her arrival and stay with me. I am not too comfortable with the long period we have stayed apart and believe this is an opportunity for us to define our relationship. I do intend to ENGAGE her when she arrives and then plan for marriage towards the end of next year when i must have graduated from school. Now the Question is, if you were in my shoes, would you spend almost all of your savings for your girlfriend? And if you must know i really care about her and love her a lot. Keep your honest comments coming. |

If I were a man, I wouldn't do it. Any man who does that is dumb as well as ignorant. 1 Like |

Mr Black:Cause it's a fact, Why would a man spend his life savings on someone that's not his wife. It's the most ridiculous thing a man can ever do. Lord_Reed:I would enjoy it but that doesn't stop me from viewing the man as a big daft. 190:Don't you ever get tired? |

Mr Black, I say give it a try! At least you are a man & nothing should deterred you from what your heart desires. If your heart leans towards her coming over, why not! If vice versa then just keep her posted till u have enough means to fund her air fare. Good luck man! |

Is the beauty of love not about the sacrifices and risk we take?personally,there is nothing i cant do for love and am sure if a lady loves u too then she can equally do anything possible to aid a man.I stil remember the many great sacrifices a friend made in the past for me and even if she was my wife or mother she couldnt have done more than she did.MAN,GO FOR IT. |
Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by madlady(f): 7:10am On Jun 11, 2010 |
Mr Black: She lives in the US, ask her if she can get a job in the vacation also, she would then be able to contribute towards the cost of her ticket. |

A chronic case of Self-mugurization. Let me ask U a question: Imagine telling Ur wife that U intend spending 75% of Ur savings on her. If na correct wife how U think say she go look U? |
Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by saintneo(m): 8:13am On Jun 11, 2010 |
Mr Black:Given the situation, I'll advice you to get that imagination of your mind. I am aware that the male species then to sacrifice all in other to get to the female kind; however, this is not a Shakespearian novel. |

Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by md4real(m): 8:25am On Jun 11, 2010 |
75percent on travelling tickets and the other 25percent on expenses during her stay. In essence, you will be broke. She definately will not agree to that. My suggestion, let her know your true financial status and see her reactions. |

Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by Creamish(f): 8:35am On Jun 11, 2010 |
if she can bring 3/4 of it, then help. . dont spend 75% of ur savings on airticket when ur not even sure if the trip will end well . . (she might actually want to come to naija to see other pple . . .not just u . . ) and u might b hurt and regret later. Iv helped guyz wit loans from my pocket and its soo damn hard to pay back . . no fall mugu sha |
Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by Ralvy(m): 8:43am On Jun 11, 2010 |
It really depends on how quick you get money. I could be in your shoes and buy the ticket without a second thought (if I really love her) knowing that I'd replenish my safe soon. |
Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by mrkoma2012: 11:16am On Jun 11, 2010 |

Is there any point answerin this, from the way the poster has placed this question,it's obvious that he knows he is embarking on a money spending spree that lacks any sense Meanwhile,U have not finished school, u r thinking about engagement and marriage, Think like a real man, you think getting married is 'beans', what a child. Career,money,marriage, |
Re: Would You Spend 75% Of Your Life Savings On Your Girlfriend? by Nobody: 11:21am On Jun 11, 2010 |
People have done more foolish things. Its just a trip and U want to strengthen your relationship. Just make sure U enjoy urself well and if it doesnt work out @ the end dont regret it my man. 75%-25%whateva u can still recoup that money with time unless u want to tell me u're a dunce |

What if the guy was doing badly/not doing well financially and the lady was doing a bit better and they sincerely love each other.are we saying a lady can not knowingly deprive herself in some areas to satisfy her man for the sole aim of improving on a relationship they so much believe in and have a sure assertion in their hearts that it was made in heaven and definitely meant to be? Many ladies here on Nairaland would definitely risk a lot for that person they love.They might say no or never but look back then you would know you must have done that or you have the tendency to do same for someone they truly love. Might be a myopic view but that is just how i see it and might be a bit hard for me to see it otherwise. |
