Cigar DD, give you my fair and hearty opinion, I like your writing and wish to read more b{&@Lm0Tn
of it. Because of this, the least thing for me to see is the broken relationship between tVO x
you and your MM. One thing I can be sure is that you won't live in poverty for long. g=)@yZ3>v
As long as you have the motivation to improve your financial situation, you will be able

The "Rich dad, Poor dad" serial of books are good to read. There is one main idea I P.o W#Je
agree the most "Don't say you can't afford it, ask yourself how you can afford it." wQ5__"D

One thing I don't understand and wish you can think it again, why you insist selling the $)U

house your MM purchased? Do you know there are thousands of foreign investors %9j]N$.V
each year from all of the world especially the USA to invest in China's real estate? <6@Db$-
And the RMB is still in appreciation, the trend will go on for a while. Keep the property R`c5-0A
for long term investment is not a bad idea. G.Q+"+*^

If you are not happy that the house is under your MM's Mom's name, you can try to Sz

persuade your MM to add her name on it, so the house will be indirectly owned by you /W9=7&R0
as well after your marriage. As to the request that you pay off the mortgage for that 7%hMf$KQ
house, if you have that much money, you just don't feel comfortable to pay it at once 'G

how about asking your MM to open a joint account in both of you/MM's names and y.zW>Mfl
deposit the money into it? By doing this, you can show your highest sincerity to MM 7$ 'ja
and extend the solid proof that you are not out of money. You can earn the interest \21!NPXH2
and when the RMB appreciates to a certain level, you can either sell the house or r*

Anyway, keep your relationship with your MM, I don't think you should explore too -a3C3!!
much on why her family ask this or ask that, honestly ask yourself, if you love her or !Ej<J&e
not. And DO keep on your writing, you have the talent.
