Really enjoying this series! It’s giving me a lot of “head’s ups” for when the time comes to build my own house in the next few years.

Thanks, Joel. I'm glad you like them. Please feel free to drop me a DM when it gets closer to building. If you're ever in Dalat, you're welcome to come by and see what we've done.

Haha, what a journey. I haven’t read your old blogs but it sounds like you jumped into a Vietnamese marriage feet first? Has she got you with the ‘your money is my money’ yet? And you’re really feeling that Confucian influence with ol’ ba.

Sorry if I got the wrong impression about your situation

Yes, you did jump with both feet into the wrong impression. We knew each other four years before getting married and were married two years (together six) before building the house. She has her own business, therefore her own money.
