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

    I don’t understand why Gino doesn’t do a sit down with Jasmine in his expenses. He needs to show her the exact number (after taxes are removed) he makes (or made) each month. THEN do a lay out of ALL expenses (to include mortgage, utilities, groceries, things like cell phone, tv, etc etc). Then he needs to explain the amount he puts towards savings/retirement.

    I truly believe Jasmine is actually smart, but perhaps she somehow believes he has the money to fund her lifestyles? She always is upset when he’s “cheap”, as if she thinks he has a lot of money but refuses to spend any on her. I’d like to believe if she understands that that is not true, perhaps she’d calm down a little.

    Also… why the hell would Gino quit his job right before she came to the states KNOWING how she is???

      I’m sure he quit because he doesn’t trust Jasmine being alone while he’s working and wants to babysit her and make sure she doesn’t look at anyone else.

      He’s afraid to leave her home alone without anybody and with nothing to do and thinks that will make her want to leave Michigan. Once she has more stability it won’t be so bad. He said this in the show.

      I also totally agree with you that if Gino sat Jasmine down and showed her his finances and their budget she would understand it and possibly mellow out a little.

        Honestly I don’t think she would care if he has the money or not. She will say anything he’s saving can go to her. She isn’t going to give up her nails and hair and surgeries and whatever else she expects. She’s a spoiled brat and I can’t see that changing.

        She was supposedly a professor in Colombia but I don’t think she’s ever spent her own money on herself, she’s always had someone to take care of her. And Gino could stop and put his foot down but he’s too obsessed with having her on his arm that he’ll just put up with anything she demands.

        I’m sure eventually his house won’t be good enough, Michigan won’t be good enough, she’ll demand an expensive car. She’s not gonna stop.

        That still makes no sense though. Because regardless you have to pay the bills. I mean I’m sure he gets paid for the show, but still.

        Once again, why wouldn’t he discuss this with Jasmine PRIOR to quitting? Say hey, I’m concerned to have to leave you alone for so long when you arrive, I’m thinking of quitting my job… however that will affect our spending budget. What do you think?

        People on this show are so bad at communicating.

          He’s not interested in communicating and know she’s not going to go for it anyway. He’ll break himself until she leaves him. Then he’ll blame her even though it’s his own fault for not putting his foot down.

      I think they’ve both discussed finances till the cows come home, and this is 99.9% contrived drama for our viewing pleasure.

      (I know, I know. I think there’s a lot of made-up drama with 90 day people … but with these two, I suspect there’s more than usual. Because honestly? Deep down, Gino and Jasmine are actually two peas in a pod)

        Yeah I’m sure they keep acting that way for the show. I bet they’ll be on the last resort here next 😂

        I hope they’ve actually discussed finances and them still having this insane disconnect when it comes to budget is just for show. Because Jasmine actually seems pretty smart. Just dramatic and eccentric. I refuse to believe she’d not tone it down a little if she understood how much he actually made and how much everything costs.

        I also think between whatever career Gino used to have and the show, he may actually make more money than we realize too. So maybe Jasmine believing he can afford it is a little more truthful than we think. The fact that he COULD afford a 3k apartment for her (even if he didn’t wanna pay it) on top of his own expenses… could afford this random surgeries… and was actually willing to give her 10k for a wedding dress (um excuse me?!?!?!?! Does a 3k dress not suffice?!?) is insane. You have to have SOME money to be able to do that.
