[quote=Anonymous]It must be horrible to live your life with the uncertainty of "what if" over your head. I totally get the OP. My MIL was married for my FIL for like 33 years. They ended up getting a divorce. She has nothing. She had a small savings and a small inheritance. None of her own retirement savings, no real social security because she didn't work much / contribute much. So at age 62 she had to start over. my FIL has to pay alimony and all that, but I'd imagine the whole painful process would have been a lot easier on her if she had her own money somewhere. I'm sure she assumed everything would be fine, I mean 33 years? Life insurance is a different story - it's helpful. But relying on your spouse to provide for you for the rest of your life isn't a sure thing. It's best to be realistic, it's not "worst case". It's protection. [/quote]
