[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A younger husband would be better if you are planning to have kids. I would be leery of having kids with a 50+ year old, [b]unless he's rich enough[/b] that you can afford all the help you need and will be taken care of if he dies earlier than expected.

Some of the doom and gloom here is a bit overblown though. Most 70 year olds do not need assisted living, in modern times -- especially not the mostly middle/upper-middle class people that post here. It's just a harsh reality that higher socioeconomic status means better health and longer life.

If he's 50, you've got a better than even chance of 25+ years of reasonably good health before he is old and frail. Most people would consider 25 years of a happy marriage to be a blessing. Nothing lasts forever.

But, [b]I still wouldn't do it unless he's got money[/b], or at least a really good career, where financial issues aren't going to be a problem. It sounds mean, but you don't want to be stuck with an old, poor man. It's one thing to be with an old rich guy, or a young, poor guy, but not an old poor guy.[/quote]

Just more evidence men age like wine while women age like milk.[/quote]
