[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please make sure you have your own retirement savings. So many women I know were SAHMs until divorce happened. [/quote]
You should get half of his retirement savings in a divorce. The bigger issue would be lack of current income. [/quote]

People live a long time.  1/2 retirement is not enough to live on/retire on for a woman in her 50s faced with entering the job market for the first time in over 25 years.

I have a parent in assisted living. You have no idea how expensive those places are--my mom can afford it on her own retirement + my dad's pension after he died.  I can't imagine how women left stranded could make retirement/old age work...it's of epidemic proportions--elderly care and lack of housing and the astronomical expense.  Americans are ill-prepared.[/quote]

THIS. 100%[/quote]

The problem is lack of affordable elder care and healthcare, which we should be addressing instead of arguing about people’s life choices.[/quote]

Well not contributing to the workforce at all and expecting handouts is welfare. I’m surrounded by neighbors that stopped working at 28-32 and are 55 and never stepped/leaned back in.  So when their husband leaves them- I’m supposed to support them because they chose to never work?[/quote]
