Return On Investment (Roi)

[Phronesis]

A recent and popular thread asks the question: Do Farangs take their Thai wives for granted?

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/638286-taking-your-woman-for-granted/

In the interest of balanced discussion, I thought it fair to raise the following question for debate. It applies to anyone who has paid sin sot for their wife and/or has provided financial assistance to family of their wife.

Are you getting a satisfactory return on your investment?

Has the OP any pecuniary interests to disclose from past relationships?

If so, were you satisfied with your ROI?

The most significant investment I make in relationships is my time.

And given that my time is very valuable, I am seldom satisfied with my ROI.

Yes thanks more tban happy with my roi although i don,t like to see my Wife as an investment.

Maybe you can come up with a specific formula to use. ROI formula in financial terms cannot be used as a it requires a monetary profit (loss) to substantiate the result.

And to save anybody else from stating the obvious, I suggest that the OP is actually asking about the more colloquial Bang for the Bucks, as opposed to ROI.

A somewhat pointless post in poor taste by the OP as it cannot be answered in any logical form and implies a relationship with a Thai wife must have a financial measurement to be judged a success or failure.

Phronesis: Your question sounds pretty sad and I am not sure what kind of relationship you have or seek...

When you invest into a company, you will be a shareholder / investor, you can sit on your ass and let the employees of the company work for your profit / ROI without yourself lifting a finger.

For a relationship, it is different. I see a relationship as a joint investment into the future. So your GF / wife has the same status as yourself. Thus, both shareholders / investors have the same right for a satisfactory ROI. Or otherwise, if both shareholders / investors just sit on their ass and do nothing, the "business" (read family) is going to fail.

I would give money to their family without any return expectations.

it s already hard to give money for a cheap charly like me... expecting a return will let me remember I have given my own money to them :-(

The OP and thread is derogatory towards Thai's.

Also sexist towards women .

I doubt the OP has even had a proper relationship refering to his (roi).

If you have to ask the question....

[Thakkar]

Mrs. T is almost ten kilograms heavier today than when I married her over twenty years ago. I think that's a decent enough ROI, don't you?
