Regardless, James proceeded with their plans, and it’s been backfiring since. However, some Reddit users think Meitalia’s family is actually wealthier than others think. Keep reading to see why.

90 Day Fiance: James Continues To Disappoint Meitalia’s Parents

James is still struggling to impress Meitalia’s parents. In one of their episodes, Metialia’s dad expressed his disappointment because James initially told them he’d help fix their house. However, he’s still unemployed in Indonesia and doesn’t have enough savings to fulfill his promise. This led to James suggesting he’d return to the U.S. to work again. But Meitalia didn’t support his plan. Instead, she wants to stay in Indonesia with him, putting James in a tight spot.

Meanwhile, some said they may be rich by Indonesian standards, adding that they may have been living in a rural area where properties are cheap. The speculations were further fueled when Meitalia’s parents offered to pay off their car loan like it was nothing.

“They’re probably well off by Indonesian standards. It seems to be a very rural area so it’s probably a lot cheaper to have a bigger home.”
“I don’t understand how they’re so broke if he was an elevator mechanic in the states? That’s a very lucrative career. Did they not save ANY money?”
“That’s right. They didn’t even hesitate to offer help. Happily. I was thinking how much money there must be in banana chips..lol.”
“I think they are “house rich” meaning the dad put/s everything into the house . They were saying there is still a ton of work to do on it inside and that’s been going on for a while.”
