[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say they work in case their husband divorces them or dies.

My friend married since 2006 to his wife who actually was so anxious to be a stay at home quit work while they were engaged to help plan wedding and she moved in. Well since then they bought a new home worth now around 3 million. Have two cars, I know my friend who makes around 500K has made almost 10 million in salary during marriage. And he goes max 401k and does IRA for her and has 529s fully funded all three kids. Since marriage greater than 10 years she gets his SS. In divorce she is entitled to 1/2 at this point, plus alimony, child support and if he drops dead she gets it all plus his multimillion life insurance policy.

Why would she need to work? Do you really think her making 100K a year is even going to matter. She did not have a big job. At his age he has around 10 million invested he makes around 1-2 million a year just on dividends, interest and capital gains a lot of years.    [/quote]

I don’t know…there is a divorce with one of the Pritkers who has a net worth of several billion but it looks the wife will only end up with $10MM…all sorts of tricks you can employ to screw your spouse if you want including moving your assets into trusts and what not.

Sounds like the wife above isn’t super savvy…not to mention the person with lots of money can decide to just spend down the $$$s on lawyers if the divorce is acrimonious.  It’s crazy what lengths people will go to screw over a spouse.[/quote]

Except there is a saying "women have to pick a horse and ride it" In my spouses network it is all nurses, marketing majors, teachers, office worker jobs. The women all graduated average colleges with average degrees. All were pretty and nice. None had parents with money. Most parents had a HS education or were immigrants themselves and lived in small little houses. But a man in his late 20s or early 30s he is looking for exactly that. A women to be a Mom as men have biological clocks too. They weirdly and oddly even though they are business people them selves shy away from business women.

Now pick the horse and ride them. These women wont be able to marry a already rich guy, a guy from a rich family, a guy from a fancy school or grew up fancy neighborhood. Guess that the man wont be able to either.

However, the good looking six foot two inch white guy who is very nice and down to earth who is doing MBA part time or just got it who is 28 who just made AVP at a bank, just made Manager at Big Four, just got his stock broker license who is hardworking with proper molding and a women behind the scenes can like Hillary got Bill to President can make it happen. I have seen it time and time and time again.

And divorce. You girls crack me up. That Labrador of a husband she pushed out door each morning with a kiss on a check and a cup of coffee. He is useless without her. Who is he taken office holiday party, his wife at events is all friendly the other exec wives, she gives him the advice, she manages the money. She has control of house and kids and talks to his mom and sends the cards out and makes him look good. The kids all love Mom she is one home taking them places, cooking, going on class trips in divorce they side with her. Do you really think he has a powerfull attorney and a plot to take the money. He does not even know where the money is.
