Just finished watching the last episode of Before the 90 days…and I really think Gino needs a simple, ‘down-home’ girl, and not a lavish Jasmine. They’re spending habits are so different, it’s bound to cause problems. She has extravagant taste and immediately wants to change everything in his home, and he doesn’t have the money for it. Meanwhile, she spent $10,000 of his money on a butt-lift? She’s not frugal at al and just wants what she wants. I don’t see this going well. They’re plenty of humble girls in the U.S who would be perfectly fine with Gino’s kitchen, bedroom etcc

    You make some very good points and they are bound to always butt heads over money. However, I suspect that Gino has amassed a small fortune simply by being so frugal. He must have quite a bit of money tucked away if he is comfortable with taking a year off from work. Does that mean that he will want to spend it the way Jasmine wants to spend it? Noooooo. It’s an absolute mystery to me as to why they are attracted to each other — I just don’t see Gino being interested in a humble, frugal woman.

      I think it pains him to spend money on anything. That outfit he wore to the airport was something a 90 year-old man would wear to Denny’s

      I agree. My husband is a frugal engineer. He bought a fixer upper house rather young and kept piling up money until we met and then he let me pick all the house updates and everything. It worked out great, but he would NEVER be on board with me getting a BBL. Has no problem with me spending his money, but I think a frugal mind will always be frugal. House updates are one thing, a BBL is another

      Ya a single educated bachelor with an engineering job for almost 30 years, a small house, and no kids or even pets??? (And a short previous marriage.) Dude has savings. Thats why he’s playing in the league that he is and it’s worked for him.
