[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be really helpful for a post like this to list out the specific information (i.e. annual salaries, total respective retirement savings, ages, etc.).  [/quote]

Why?

This is about money but it's not. Reading the OP and her follow up, I'm guessing OP would be happy to "subsidize" her DH's retirement and be all in, if he were. As long as he's choosing his ex's feelings over hers about child support, he's not all in.[/quote]

The child support issue notwithstanding, I would be interested in knowing just how short he is with respect to retirement savings.  I mean, on the first page she says he's not saving for college for his kids but then a few pages in we find out they can go to school at a number of colleges for free and the kids are happy with these choices so it turns out the college savings probably doesn't matter.

Here, current income information would be helpful because if he makes a lot as a professor (for example, law professors are paid very well) then he could make up the difference in his shortfall in a few years.  At some point, one has what they need for retirement and the extra money is just surplus.[/quote]
