Mom and dad can stop worrying. Apparently, girls here are even more unrealistic about their future husbands' wallets than the majority of girls in America. Here's the story:
Korean girls are greedy and selfish
This story says that Korean girls expect the guy they marry to already have the equivalent of $210,000 in their bank accounts. Now, university graduates who enter the job market generally make less than I do at my teaching job.
Granted, they don't have house, car or student loans because their parents pay for everything. But they still spend tons of money on entertainment and material possessions.
But even if they didn't spend frivolously, they still would have to save for more than 10 years -- probably closer to 15 -- to get up to $210,000.
The common marriage age here is somewhere between 28 and 32. If a male student graduates university at 27 (because of their two years of mandatory military service -- then he wouldn't be getting married until he's 42! No Korean girls want to marry a 42-year-old guy. And if they do, then the guy needs a lot more than $210,000.
This may be the most vain and self-serving culture I've ever seen in my life.

Have you asked Vicky about this? I wonder what she would say or how much she would expect a man to have in his bank account.
