Anyway, this is a no-absolute question.

You don't even know the term to describe these vietnamese abroad? They are known as 'VietKieus'. You still have a lot to learn. Most of the local vietnamese depend on these vietkieus to remit money back to them for daily expenses, they just refused to work and prefer to rot in the village.

3.education of younger brother college studies (i think he's 19yr old)
4.Tution Fees

just want to know if they are requesting for $1000 per month is it reasonable?

2 person needs S$1K a month for survival?S$1k is around 16.5million VND. Unless they are staying in a condo in a big city like HCMC or Hanoi, or else, staying in a small house/ room in the city cost around 3 to 4 million VND for rental a month and utilities cost another 500K VND (no aircon, just simple electrical and water). Their eating expenses are very low as they eat mostly vegetables. 1 day 65K VND for 2 person (1 month around 2 million VND) is more than enough and considered very good food already. College fees is cheap and heavily subsidised in Vietnam, he can also go work part time to earn some pocket money.

So.. add up,

Rental - 4 million
Utilities - 500K
Food - 2 million
College fees: 200K

Total : 6.7 million a month

If they stay in village, minus around 30% off from rental, food and utilities. Do you know how much a normal staff (without degree) earns in HCMC a month? only around 3m a month. So by giving them 16.5million VND a month, they can live like a king there while you live like a pauper here. Worth it?

Welcome.

but dun quite understand the sentence in red.

Advise to try spending time or get her to stay with u for a period of time, for u to understand her more and for her to understand u more, also for her to understand and feel living abroad away from her family for a long period of time.
