[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I made 5x what my wife made for our entire marriage. Are you suggesting that I shouldn’t “subsidize” her retirement? [/quote] Did she have a couple of kids with someone else?[/quote] Np here. [b]What difference would that make?[/b] By the time retirement rolls around, presumably any kids are self-sufficient adults. Op’s dh will have some money in his name, op will have money in her name. I can’t imagine being married and thinking of our retirement funds as seperate assets. That just doesn’t make sense, even when it’s a second marriage with a blended family. [/quote] You are naive. The difference it would make is that OP would literally be taking money away from her children to subsidize her husband. In your case, you and your wife raised your children together, there are no blended family issues. But sure, keep sticking your head in the sand. [/quote]
