Last night, my partner, who is my girlfriend, er, my fiancee, invited her friends and colleagues to have a dinner, investing all her salary for one month. I was so astonished when I heard this news. but she spoke plausibly. I really want to ask her "how to live next month?", but I didn't as my love.
Could you do that invite your friends to play by investing all your salary for one month?

If I had much money, I would be not so astonished.
My salary is low, so does her. we have not enough money to buy a new house, now we have to rent a room for living.
In future, if we had a baby, we have no enough money, how do we love the baby?

Ok, I think it's easy to face it now. Did your girlfriend refuse her friend?

she always considered the intercommunication demand expand money, more money more good friends.
but I think those are fair-weather friends who are not good. the genuine friendship needn't money to manage.

a month salary for one dinner?! what did you have for the dinner? it is outrageous to spend such amount of money for only a dinner. unless that dinner is about closing a deal or business meeting wherein after the dinner, one can expect lots of money in return. but for a friendly dinner, it is really astrocious. i will not do that.

No deal, Only for a friendly dinner.
I find she hadn't the consciousness of money, she never think over the future. that's a problem, I am afraid for our livelihood in future.

I think alot would depend on the amount of my monthly salary and how much I wanted to spend time with my friends. If bills needed to be paid, I might wait until I had some money saved before planning an expensive meal. Hope you enjoyed your dinner.

I cannot take part in the dinner.
I also think we should do something depending on our capability that we could endure.
no matter when, overrunning the capability, the conjuncture would occur.
She has expended all her salary for this month, she has to deal with the lack of money in next month.

I also believe one should not spend all the salary at once. I think your wife should have saved some of the money and should have made the dinner small. I think you should talk to your wife and should make her understand that dinner as much is not needed in life and there are lots of other things in life in which we needed to spend more money. Well to be frank I will never invite all my friends and invest all of my one month's salary for just a dinner. Most of them can have the dinner themself and I believe there is no need to invest all our hardwork into nothing.

A person, who has any plans in future, could not spend all the salary at once. I agree with you.
I want to talk to my partner many things, but she cannot agree with me. she has no plans in future, she depends on me or her family.

Wow! I can understand your shock! If my partner did that I would be beyond mad...but he's also the main breadwinner so we live off his paycheck which makes it different. I know it's "his" money but it's our livelihood.
Now if your partner only works for fun spending money and doesn't need to pay bills then I guess it's alright that she did that as long as you as her partner are also fine with it...that's not to say that you should control her money just that as partners yoou both should agree on money issues.

I am a breadwinner, I have no much money, my family also have no much money, so I was economical usually in life.
She is fortunate as her family's economy is better. so she really needn't to pay bills. but I think it is humiliating to get money from parents. I am afraid our livelihood after marriage.

I wouldn't do that, I mean if the friends deserve that and if they did something for me that helped me a lot ant that is a thank you dinner then I would but not otherwise. We all have to eat and drink 30 days a month so we need money. If I had to make a dinner for my friends I would prepare something I can afford. I like giving dinners and inviting my friends over but I would never spend so much money for a dinner.

Yes, I agree with you, but I cannot persuade my partner. we have different ideology, I am economical, and she is extravagant. she doesnot agree with my economization, and I cannot put up with her extravagance. But we cannot part because we love each eeach other very much.
