I live with my girlfriend who is "pure" dominicana. When I say pure, I mean she behaves very dominican in the house which means she cleans, cooks, buys the food, does everything needed in casa.
But as everyone knows here, money can be a problem in a relation between foreigner and dominicana.
I had this kind of problem before and dont want that any more. Then I guess I found a good solution:
I fixed a monthly budget which must include everything. For instance, 1000 us$ per month (for the rent, gasolina, restaurants, food, absolutely all the expenses...)
I give her the money at the beginning of the months and she is responsible for it. If I need to buy something, I tell her and she gives me the money or go and buy it for me. Of course, she must plan the expenses so that there is still some money to finish the month.
And it works perfect. She is very carefull with the money. I guess its because she considers its hers.
I know where I go moneywise speaking. No more money problems and I dont have to take care of it
Maybe you can use this solution tambien
Rep Dom:
Is it just a "good solution" you found....or.....perhaps a good woman......or both.
Hang onto her. Beautiful women are a dime a dozen in the DR, but to find beauty and financial responsibility in the same package there......almost priceless.
And they do exist there....it takes time to find them, but it is time well spent.
Congrats!
