[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting how in most cases here - the DHs have a lot more than the DWs. Are the DHs earning that much more? Or are the DHs maxing out while the DWs are responsible for additional bills like childcare?[/quote]

I noticed that, too. The question was individually and many answered for their DH's. I'm not even seeing mention of IRAs for those who SAH.[/quote]

The answer is obvious, wives are generally younger than husbands so they've less saved. And wives tend to be the ones leaving the workforce to care for kids. It's no an evil misogynous conspiracy.[/quote]
Right? Doesnt take rocket science to figure out.

I fall into this exact scenario yiu outline. I'm younger than my DH and took a few years off work when our kids were little. It's NBD, I'm not a "victim" of the evil white man. Years later our combined retirement has us ontrack for a very comfortable retirement. [/quote]

Not for you, it's not  :lol: [/quote]

Explain. What is not? Are you somehow under the ignorant impression that if we got divorced, i wouldn't get half of all retirement accounts? I'd get half the house too, and half of all investments. I'd come out with a pretty sweet deal.[/quote]
