Money is what we all want and what we need to possess since we are in a competitive world right now. (Just knowing what and where we as "Hmong" have been.) But still why do we seek to know about one's finacial stability before any other concerns. Given a situation that doesn't concern money as much, the very first thing we think of and ask of is one's finacial stability. Especially when it's families and in our own homes. Why can't we leave such an act outside of our own homes and away from our families? I do understand that we work hard for our money and money shows how hard working a person is especially in the Hmong culture, but does that justify the rightfulness to act in such a way in your own home...with families?

I don't get what you're trying to say.

Are you concern with the fact that the Hmong community is so based around and about the financial and career standings a person is at? If so, I concur with your opinion. Though, the financial and career standing a person is at proves a lot about a person, it isn't the most important attribute a person holds. I find that the actual character of the person is more valuable. But, because of how we, the Hmong people, receive to this country and how poor of a family and life that we had to grow up in, families tend to try and push their kids to try and achieve a very prestigious standing.

What happens after that? As far as family life goes.
