Cigar DD, give you my fair and hearty opinion, I like your writing and wish to read more V_+&Y$msi~
of it. Because of this, the least thing for me to see is the broken relationship between +<7Oj s>o
you and your MM. One thing I can be sure is that you won't live in poverty for long. ~ nsb
As long as you have the motivation to improve your financial situation, you will be able REUxXaN>Z
to achieve your financial goal eventually. Y9+_MxC"

The "Rich dad, Poor dad" serial of books are good to read. There is one main idea I /'/I^ab
agree the most "Don't say you can't afford it, ask yourself how you can afford it." ot^p xun

One thing I don't understand and wish you can think it again, why you insist selling the ffrIi',@
house your MM purchased? Do you know there are thousands of foreign investors "7B}hZ^)W
each year from all of the world especially the USA to invest in China's real estate? XIW0Z C
And the RMB is still in appreciation, the trend will go on for a while. Keep the property g$nS6w|5H
for long term investment is not a bad idea. hS]w

If you are not happy that the house is under your MM's Mom's name, you can try to 7j]v_2S`
persuade your MM to add her name on it, so the house will be indirectly owned by you xVm-4gB
as well after your marriage. As to the request that you pay off the mortgage for that ]O@$}B];)
house, if you have that much money, you just don't feel comfortable to pay it at once A l U^,X
how about asking your MM to open a joint account in both of you/MM's names and d?2V2`6
deposit the money into it? By doing this, you can show your highest sincerity to MM z5>I9R^q;
and extend the solid proof that you are not out of money. You can earn the interest ||$&o!;/L
and when the RMB appreciates to a certain level, you can either sell the house or V'vR(Wx
close the joint account and exchange the money back to whatever currency at that Wc3z7xK1@
time. (Sigapore dollar or Hong Kong dollar or USA dollar) O`5,L[i1y

Anyway, keep your relationship with your MM, I don't think you should explore too
