It sounds like there are things going on in TZ that she hasn't disclosed.

I mean she comes with zero funds but can afford a live in home help at home -. Now in a house barely being lived in as the husband is a doctor so will predominantly be at work. What is the home help doing all day.

My previous next door neighbours were from India. I was once round there and the woman was telling me how they'd gone out and bought an iron and ironing board because they didnt have one in India since she coudl get a weeks ironing done for about £1 whereas here it was £1 per item.

I had friends in Malaysia for a few years, by no means third world country but still poorish, they had a live in maid/ cook / babysitter / shopper that they could never even think about affording here.

I once nearly rented a house in Bali for a couple of weeks, dont recall the cost, maybe say £1k a week. It came with a maid, cook ,chauffeur (with their own car)  and a "house boy" ! 

Very different cultures and cost structures.
