I do let her know that I am not rich so please be mindful when spending, and she was thrifty and keep track of her spending on own household needs with me.
The sister and mother, I suspect they exploit on the wife care for them.
Yes I do agreed with you, they will always think that we are rich.
So constantly reminding them that we are not, is a part and parcel of marrying a Viet wife.
As least for me.

Brother, as a precondition to any further conduit transfers to them, they should take a household finance course of some sort and also be taught the relative cost of living between SG and Vietnam. You need to demonstrate to them succintly that you are not rich in SG standards. Maybe Vietnam standards which is why they slowly strip you of money. I don't think they are evil but have wants and desires just like anyone else. If you educate them then they will see things in a more realistic frame. Your wife has to partticpate in this and agree to it. Why did you not discuss these matters before marrying the girl? You need to do this right away before the situation turns into a crisis.
