Then when it's time to propose, then "chu" their 30k and buy a good proposal ring and propose and surprise the girl.
Guys must act poor in the wallet and bank a/c, but must be really rich in their hearts and minds.
This way they can filter out all those nonsense, demanding and materialistic girls who are not princess material but likes to act like a princess.
Of course I'm not one of them.
so you want your bf to act poor all year long in front of you. How about acting poor in front of your friends too?
And what happens when he buy the diamond ring? How much money should he have left inside the bank?

I put this
S'pore Woman - No figure + no face + no good attitude = no marry
lol, that's true too, dat's y gals spend so much effort on dolling themselves up
gals are not the only ones with demands/expectations, guys also have wat, just that the expectations are more with physical appearence
i don't think there's any right or wrong, just that guys and gals look out for different things

You usually end up pissing off the woman who stuck through the non-existent "hard times", unless your excuse is that you're a lottery winner who has been hurt by gold diggers before.

Well having all answers above, i would like to summerise and share my views.... if money is what makes a relationship last, it is no longer a relation but a business deal and if sex is what holds the relation, you are only sexually attach and not emotionally.(this is not stable and not healthy...)
For a relation to last between man and women, commitment has to be made, like wise nobody ever say marriage was a bed of roses and they live happily ever after. whether is the man or the women, each has their own flaws cause nobodies perfect. And it is only in the experience of thight and down situation will you appreiciated the other half . Money does not buy everything.....

No money? No marry
Local men, listen up. According to a survey conducted by the Shin Min Daily News, women in Singapore require that their prospective partners earn a minimum of $4,000 to $5,000, before they will consider marrying them.
Local TV artiste and compere Quan Yifeng discussed this issue on a talkshow programme recently. The topic was about "How much should a Singaporean man earn" and how much is enough?
The three female guests invited to speak on the talkshow agreed that a good amount would be between $4,000 to $5,000. A shocked Quan Yifeng quipped: "No wonder Singaporean men can't get wives."
A local netizen posted this topic in an online forum in May. Till today, the topic has raged on, with many forummers posting their comments and opinions. The thread has accumulated more than 200 responses so far.
Regarding the minimum that a man should earn, a reporter from the Chinese daily posed this question to 20 men and women. Most of them said that having a salary that is good enough to sustain your lifestyle would be sufficient. However, most agreed that $4,000 to $5,000 is a "reasonable amount" if one is thinking of setting up a family.
Without that minimum amount, they reason, it would be difficult for a man to support his wife, let alone think about having children and allowing them to grow up in a comfortable environment.
The men say: "I would say the same too"
>> Mr Su Jun Long, 27, an accountant, earns $2,400 per month. He says: "I am not worried about not finding a wife, especially not a materialistic one. Actually, it is not important how much I earn, but more of how much I spend. However, when I am thirty-plus, I would also hope I am able to earn a minimum of $3,000 and above."
>> Mr Zhang Yi Zheng, 26, an auditor, earns $2,100 per month. He says: "$4,000 to $5,000 is a reasonable amount to expect. But at my age, it is normal to earn only $2000 plus. My girlfriend earns about the same amount as I do."
>> Mr Huang, 30, an IT personnel who earns $2,500 per month, says: "Contentment is key. Money is a factor, but it should not be the main consideration. Having a low income would be a problem too, so a salary of $4,000 to $5,000 is not too much to ask."
The women say: "It is just enough to support a family"
>> Ms Shen Yu Tai, 27, a bank officer, says: "Actually, $2,000 is enough. But it is understandable that women would require their husbands to earn $4,000 to $5,000. After all, we all want to be able to live a comfortable life. That amount is required to start a family as well."
>> Ms Pan, 27, a writer, says: "It is not important how much he earns, but he must be good at saving. The salary ranges for industries differ, so there shouldn't be a specific requirement, as long as he earns above $2,500.
>> Ms Tan, 30, a customer service officer, says: "Realistically, an income of $4,000 to $5,000 should be expected. Generally, as long as you have a degree, and have worked for a few years, you should be able to draw that amount."
what do you expect from a show that is hosted by Quan Yifeng ? Crap host, crap show, crap guests, crap discussion, crap views = not to be taken serious !!! -
