[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say she is recently divorced. Has her daughter always gone to this school? I can imagine the parents don't want to pull a first  second or second grader from her school/routine right after a divorce.

And it can be hard to get back on your feet financially after a divorce. But it sounds like she is self-sufficient for now, she just isn't saving.

I say cut her loose. She and her daughter can do a lot better than some dude who doesn't see himself as part of her future.

Your fiancee needs to kick the football down the road for a little bit to help her young daughter's needs right now. Accept it or move on.[/quote]

A few good points, a few giant leaps.

Is it unreasonable to expect that someone almost 40 would have something saved?

Spending all your money on your children means you'll be living off them in thirty years.[/quote]

Ok, this can't be real. You seem so..contemptuous...not at all like a partner. Maybe it is not unreasonable to expect it, but for a great many people, that is their reality. Student loans, medical issues, lower paying jobs without the skills to move up to higher paying.

I would bet that right now, she is hoping SS will still be there and I HOPE she in not relying on you as her plan. Especially since she has barely known you and has been in the same situation for quite awhile. So it is not like she could have foreseen that her "white knight" would come and scoop her up and she could magically do nothing or that sh ehe you and all of a sudden became broke.
