[quote=Anonymous]That's very common behavior in some African cultures. and won't change. Consider yourself lucky if it's only family and not random neighbors/friends/acquaintenances calling to ask for money. I have a few friends or coworkers married to West Africans and their husbands are expected to pay for expensive funerals for random people in their hometowns, to fund schooling for all manner of relatives, to host anyone who gets a visa for months at a time, etc., etc. I don't think I could do it. If OP decides to move forward, perhaps she could work with her fiance and a financial planner to set up a fund or endowment of some sort to be used only for her and their future kids.[/quote]
