That is why you don't get married.

Or if you really, really, really want to get married, get a non-Chinese, non-Sinkie FT whose family doesn't care about silly CNY traditions.

If you're married to a typical Sinkie Chinese charbor:

1) Wife's family is richer, husband will kena lots of 'white eye' from the in-laws.
2) Wife's family is poorer, husband is seen as the 'ticket' to a better life by the in-laws. Expect lots of borrowing, freeloading, leeching etc.

Heads they win, tails you lose. Why bother?

The only thing my father in law expects from me is to bring him along to Geylang

For me, it goes like this.

Parents and parents in law: $500 each person
Grandparents: $200 each person

Nieces and nephews: $20 each.

Others: $10 each.

Only Singkie will give so little. I will give $2888 to grandparents and parents. To my niece and nephew, probably $500 to $1000.

However I am still single and unwanted, so no need to give any ang pow.

If you vegetables only, can give lesser

Best rate is zero dollar ang pow: go overseas for a holiday.

Can't stand my obnoxious relatives and their brats anyway. No, I'm not interested in how well you're doing in school, so piss off. :oIo:

The best strategy is to migrate overseas. That solves the problem of deciding where to go for vacation every CNY.

No need to migrate, just go and hide in pulau ubin for 1-2 days, cheapest option

 

[bushtucker]

just give whatever you think is right! don't fall into the sinkie mentality of setting standards for ang pows.

case in point: ang pow rates for wedding banquets.
