Bingo. And where will they live when they return to Canada? Yeah, that'll be a temporary stay with you, right?

Man, I've been through this one too, as I was engaged previously to a princess from the Mainland whose old man became super wealthy before she could remember having been poor. The girl never knew what the word "no" meant. Not being able to afford something was beyond her comprehension.

Her: I am very frugal. I only spend $2700 per month.

Me: Yeah, but you credit carded $4000 for a Breitling and a Cartier yesterday.

Oh, that doesn't count.

And she wanted me to move to China with her after we were to marry, you know, just for a year or two. I never could explain to her that we'd be returning to the U.S. with nothing, no money, no house, no assets. We'd have sold all that to move to China, earned a tiny fraction there of what we had earned here, used our money to make up for it and had nothing at the end. Bu dong, bu dong.
