to meet latinas.
First, don't think I am trying to point fingers by claiming other people have smaller budgets, and I don't. I'm not rich. I have to work everyday, and I have bills to pay.
However, during my travels I came across all kinds of guys; and actually, some posters may have met me before, but not realize who I am.
Also, when I started years ago, I had a smaller salary, but used my money wisely and it allowed me to experience many things in Colombia.
I think the main thing for guys with less money is to be disciplined, and use CASH. Save up money. Don't use credit cards.
Try to reach out to other people who have gone through the process successfully. Listen to their experiences.
Try to have realistic expectations and goals.
The main thing, don't get caught up with the number of beautiful available women. This is critical for men with smaller budgets because most men that I have met, get caught up and make multiple trips, but not able to make a decision about any one girl because they are always thinking of finding another better looking woman. I have been guilty of this, but I'm younger than most travelers, and I wasn't ready to settle down right away. On each trip, I stayed about 10 days, each day 4 to 5 intros with different people. Everytime I came back, there were about 5 on the list that I wanted to spend more time with. As a guy I thought I had it under control, but the reality was these additional women just added to my confusion...LOL !!!! You gotta love it. It was sure fun, and an ego boaster though. However, in the end, I realized that I blew a small fortune, and now I have to start all over to meet someone else.
This isn't the kind of situation a person with a meager budget should want to be in. Blowing money searching and finding girls can do nothing but cripple a guy financially, and lead to delays and hold ups with bringing the right girl to marry to the USA.
If you're younger, and in College, don't even think about this kind of thing yet. Get your degree first !!!!! I was very lucky to come out unscaved like others. It wasn't because of skill, but mainly because I had a Latin support network for advice. If I would have gotten married, I probably wouldn't have finished my schooling, and I would have missed out on other good things for myself.
Guys with meager budgets can find a good girl, and have a successful marriage. There can never be too much planning. Probably the best things a guy can ensure for a girl coming here are 1.) a decent safe place to live, 2.) healthcare coverage, and 3.) transportation. Forget about trips, big SUVs and cars, jewerlry, etc etc etc. That stuff isn't necessary. If a guy can do it, then great. But, there are many basic necessities that many of these ladies need, and cannot find in their own country. A guy that can provide these things, but still on a meager salary, will be desirable to many women. Also, throw these color complexes to the wind. White guys, black guys, latin guys, asian, european, and all others search and can find someone.
