I had an irrevocable trust set up a few years ago. I own nothing, the trust owns everything, and I live very well. Talk to a trust lawyer in the US they can explain it all.
Five Filipina girlfriends #1 never asked me for anything. I offered to pay her first year tuition for nursing school. #2 three years together took me for 3 million php and a house 1 child. #3 11 years 10 Million php 2 business, a house 2 children. #4 never asked me for anything 1 year together. #5 my wife, never asked me for anything, 5 years 3 houses later. My wife manages her family's local grocery store.
Good show with common sense info. It's hard believe some guys coming to PI looking for for women have no experience with dating or seeing the red flags in these women. You have to be at the top of your game when dealing with women anywhere. Be very careful these days.
Steve, they all ask for money. Every last one. If I could go back, knowing what I know now, I would tell myself to wait untill I'm on the airplane headed for the Phils before doing online dating. LDR's are a total loser for guys who aren't there.
The worst gold digger I ever heard of was a woman who would marry Army guys before they got shipped over to Vietnam. After they got killed she collected their insurance. She got married 7 or 8 times. She eas very calculating and only married them if they were in certain units.
I had to assist a widow in our relatively small unit with processing the life insurance policy for her deceased husband. About 10 weeks later, she drives up in a new truck, see through sun dress, with her 16 year old daughter dressed the same. She asks if they can take me to lunch, and also directly states that her and her deceased were not close. She also stated her and her daughter would love to get to know me better. Ummm, no thanks. So much for grieving period.
Well my Filipina wife and I are working on our 15th year. We are very compatible after a little struggle at the start. I remember going to the bank before I married the Filipina. They told me that with my divorce settlement finalized I owed them (the bank) 1.45 Million USD. They said they were no longer able to finance my operating expenses. And with that background my Filipina married me. Well the Filipina came to my place and married me. And she worked side by with me for over a decade and we climbed out of debt and had a nice retirement fund. She had a nice job with benefits on too. The ex took my money and half my retirements, but I had a good business plan that kept working after I was stripped of the my retirements. Anyway my Filipina wife has been the opposite of a gold-digger.
The main issue is communication. The couple needs to sit down prior to marriage to set expectations with money. Especially with family. We know a few women in our area that are strong armed by their families to give them money which has caused a strain on the relationship. The wife is caught in the middle.
Yes, do not send money to a girl you have never met in the Philippines. Pay attention and be on the defense, and watch out for red flags. Be prepared to ghost them. Agree, find a girl that works and supports her family, its better if she has siblings who work and help support her family. Let your Pinay know up front that you will not help support her family unless you want her to quit working, then you better be sure she's the one because jobs are hard to find in the Philippines. Good video, Steve...Jim
I have heard talk about the Philippines government enacting a Divorce Law in the Philippines. Has anybody heard any details about the Division of Assets, Alimony and Child Support parts of the Law. Will it be like the US, Australian or the Thai Divorce Laws. Only the US has Alimony (though that is changing - Florida for example), Thai Division of Assets - what you take into a marriage remains yours, should you later get Divorced.
Sometimes when im at the BI i hear exactly what you mean by how the foreigner will loudly talk down to his filipina. It can be a bit embarrassing at times. But i definitely know what you mean ✌🏾
After 20 plus years in the military, I have seen plenty of them. Working for the VA for the last 20 years, I have heard almost every story you can imagine. The few first hand stories I have would make you physically ill. I found one that didnt want, nor ever mention money. Thinking Filipinas are not smart is a big mistake, just look at how adaptable they can be. I rely on my lady to help me navigate some of the more unique cultural situations too. She has never let me down. See you in March of next year Steve.
Ask yourself, why would a woman NOT sign a prenup to keep her hands off money she didn't earn??? WHY doesn't she want to keep away from what is NOT hers???
Current girl I'm dating gets upset that I want a prenuptial, I'm iffy about official marriage (I sorta get that), and is furious I wouldn't buy a house here cuz it wouldn't be under my name. She sorta cooled off about that it seems (for now). Looking back, her sister has also asked twice for 2k USD "loan". Hmm.
@ofwbj8795 well, her family is pretty nuts tell you the truth. If we didn't meet, they would've treated her like the family ATM. Would've sent her off to work overseas and support them. That kind of family. I mean, they implicity said, she would've supported the family if we didn't meet. When her mom learned we were dating, she stopped paying for her college and expected me to do it. When I said no, I'm not married to her, the sister started saying it's my responsibility since we live together to her in bisaya over video chat. Filling her head of nonsense.
@@gordonreinz9849 sad to say but this is the typical mindset of some parents who think their children are the key to their retirement or would expect them to support the family once they start working.
what exactly is better.. if your perameters are only looks and you are not going to financially outplay your competition you are heading to disaster. .. decent girl is a misnomer ,most guys want to find a girl that is way above their pay grade that have so many options being attractive and think they are the one ..20 years here and you guys are not thinking realistically ..there are plenty of GOOD ONES but if you only go for STUNNERS and you are not either rich or handsome and relatively young you can end up another sad horror story. imo p.s. there are exceptions but they are rare
My Filipina wife has, according to some commentators, been gold-digging for the past 12 years. During that time we have travelled all around the world, had a child together, bought a lot of property and relocated to the Philippines. She is welcome to the gold since it means we have a decent family life and have a decent income. The family gets no free ride. They work for us and earn their way, so there are no handouts. Yes, I gave her the gold-mine to begin with, but she's doing pretty well at the seam, which is why I can spend time watching these videos! The biggest gold-digger I ever encountered was my ex-wife, a Brit, who did her best to screw me over. She managed to do that in the short-term, but ultimately she failed. My advice, for what it's worth, is come to the Philippines WITH someone, not to FIND someone.
Unfortunately there are some men who are so desperately lonely they rationalize it as a monthly subscription to a girlfriend service. They enjoy having someone to talk to everyday.
The First Lady you mention. I imagined I least she is miss Philippines to get rich guys like that. But she also are more than a gold digger. She is a professional who target her victims for Money. Also have a lawyer to protect her. Yeah a smart professional. Well who I can blame her or the dummy’s.
Steve, I would think you’d have to be careful with any woman you date, especially in the Philippines when it comes to money. If these guys are smart, they pretend they don’t have any money and find a genuinely interested woman. Maybe they haven’t watched Eddie Murphy‘s movie, coming to America! Lol, true love shouldn’t cost you
Great video once again Steve. Too many trying to be Captain Save-A-Ho whether it be stateside or in the Pinas'. I recently had a co-worker go thru a divorce after being married 42 years and just before his planned retirement at 62. Guess what, that retirement may never happen he lost half his pension, half his 401k, half of their savings and is paying alimony. I feel bad for the guy, wife knew he was planning to retire and did a rug pull on him. He fought like hell but lost his shorts in the end and may be working until the day he dies. Western women do not give a flip about a long term relationship. Most not all suck all the resources dry and then move on to the next victim. They laugh and brag about it and then wonder why they are valued nothing more than a pump n dump once they hit that wall which wr all know the wall never fails. Women in general live for the moment. They rarely if ever plan long term and it shows. I will be married 20 years next June to my pinay wife. Hasnt always been a bed of roses but it isnt supposed to be either. General rule I have followed in the Pinas' is get to know the family, turn the blinders off and observe. If any member of the immediate family is !@cked up then you best run like hell. Too many good Filipina's who come from a great family backround to get involved with instead of settling for the trashy side.
Doesn't matter where they are from its still way better being single than risking everything. Plus the addition of Ai has made it easy to replace partners
Great advice. There are gold diggers EVERYWHERE!!! You just need to use a little common sense and let the big head do the thinking. If you starting seeing someone and the red flags start showing up....move on. There are plenty of great girls out there.
I’m confused why guys retire and rush to find a partner, I’m going to enjoy my freedom date as many countries as possible no interest in living in a 3rd world country. If see Asia is what you want Thailand is so much better for people over 60. Hospitals healthcare infrastructure and amazing food. You can have the Philippines and the noise pollution average healthcare poor infrastructure and mistreatment of dogs. I worked way to hard to support another mans kid plus her family and her No thanks
Easy to spot a gold digger, Hair done up, nails done, new iPhone, Tattoo's usually, approaches you first. Just walk away.
I had an irrevocable trust set up a few years ago. I own nothing, the trust owns everything, and I live very well. Talk to a trust lawyer in the US they can explain it all.
3 Filipina GF's, 2 were absolutely golddiggers. 66% success rate. Yay me.
Lol
STEVE, YOU ARE MY FAVORATE VLOGGER AND ADVISER BECAUSE WORDS HAVE ALWAYS SENSES!!!
Great video!

Wow 5 that's dedication. Single life way better though than getting taken to the cleaners.
Simple advice, 1) Never send money to someone you have never met in person. 2) Take your time and make sure you know what you are getting into.
The bigger the age gap the easier it is to become a gold digger from a younger person's perspective. Easy money
Great advice. How about renting condo, date around, and never agree to getting married?

It’s true you have to be super careful, yes if she’s asking you for a phone card that’s headlights in the face
Narcissists do this they are users and have NO empathy. She was more concerned of destroying than the money...
Hello. I was referred by your friend Richard Pacifico😊
Thanks for coming
Gold diggers are EVERYWHERE. Make sure to ASK HER TO SIGN A PRE NUP. if you're broke then NO PRE NUP needed. 😂🤣😂
good info in this video, THX for posting
Glad it was helpful!

I am guessing the larger the age gap (younger the woman that is) who is brought to the US is the main portion of the ones that fail?

I won't ask for money. Promise😍😁
Are them antique tin signs?
I think your filipina is going to get the house in a breakup even if she has a job. And the family sari-sari store too.
After 20 plus years in the military, I have seen plenty of them. Working for the VA for the last 20 years, I have heard almost every story you can imagine.

Ask yourself,
why would a woman NOT sign a prenup to keep her hands off money she didn't earn???
WHY doesn't she want to keep away from what is NOT hers???
You are trying to apply "reason and accountability" to a woman? 😂😂😂😂
@@Lawrencerice
Not at all😂😂
I said: ask yourself and make your decision!
Leave her out of it.
@VENEMPASTOR I know. The Jack Nicholson quote came to mind, a tickled my funny bone!😇🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel they are all mostly gold diggers, from my experience. Im sure there are some good ones but I think they are very few and far between.
Current girl I'm dating gets upset that I want a prenuptial, I'm iffy about official marriage (I sorta get that), and is furious I wouldn't buy a house here cuz it wouldn't be under my name. She sorta cooled off about that it seems (for now).
Looking back, her sister has also asked twice for 2k USD "loan". Hmm.
Go find another. Many to choose from on the market
Agreed, take it from someone who's been there.
She's just using you.
Doesn't love you.
Many good women to choose from keep looking.
Find another woman who does not put money first before you. Check out the kind of family she comes from.
@ofwbj8795 well, her family is pretty nuts tell you the truth. If we didn't meet, they would've treated her like the family ATM.
Would've sent her off to work overseas and support them. That kind of family. I mean, they implicity said, she would've supported the family if we didn't meet.

I know Americans, men and women, who married for money. Even Jane Fonda married up ;) This is good advice for anyone, no matter where they are from.

Gold diggers cime in all ages, but the good girls are taken off the market at an early age. Marrying a girl who's over 26 is a big risk.
Going through 20-30 girls is not a bad thing. I think you need experience dating about 50 women to have the knowledge to see through a lot of women.
