Men's standard of living goes up 10% post-divorce...

robowriter · 2017-12-03T07:44:38+00:00

because living in the back of your car is dope as fuck

reiduh · 2017-12-03T06:41:11+00:00

… while a woman's standard of living goes down 27% post-divorce.

You do the math, and stay safe out there bros!

lone_nordic_wolf · 2017-12-03T09:23:03+00:00

I live this. Standard goes up, debt gets eliminated. Minimalism and frugality reign day to day, but there are times to live a bit too. I got lucky though, the ex didn’t get me for alimony.

NordHamsteri · 2017-12-03T09:42:47+00:00

Is this confirmed or why do women initiate 70-80% of divorces?

Women are simply incapable of living with less because to them nothing is ever good enough. In fact that's part of the reason why I think men enjoy camping more than women. In fact a perfect example of this is clothes. About twice a year, I go through my closet and dresser and get rid of anything that either is too worn or doesn't fit and drop it at a clothing drop box. I've met women who refuse to do this. In fact many of them flat out told me while in their messy bedrooms that they have to go and swap out their winter/ summer clothes. Yes they actually rent a storage unit of sorts to keep their clothes that aren't fit for the season.

EDIT: Just realized I used "in fact" a lot.

The woman's standard pre divorce was 100% higher. The man's standard of living was 100% lower. The guy still winds up 67% lower. And that 10% is only because he doesn't have to deal with her anymore.

The woman's standard of living only drops because she's lost her cuck boy slave.

Feminists would look at this stat and scream "we need even more money in divorce!" when the reality is that it's all on them.

The reality is that the vast majority of women have zero self-control when it comes to money. My ex-wife got an insane amount of cash and prizes out of the divorce. Enough to where if she'd carefully budgeted, it would have set her up pretty well for several years. Instead the dumb bitch burned through every penny of it in less than a year, then had the audacity to send me an email about 2 years post-divorce trying to lay some really lame guilt trip on me and implying that she was bitter about the divorce settlement (trust me guys, it was very heavily skewed in her favor -- nowhere near a 50/50 split -- yes, I was a blue pilled idiot who should have fought harder).

Anyway, last I heard she's barely scraping by with her new husband. Meanwhile my net worth just topped $1M and is climbing. I own my own house free-and-clear, and am on track to retire in hopefully about 10 more years.

None of this disparity was due to her getting some sort of unfair deal. She, like all women, has the mind of a child when it comes to money. That's why her "standard of living" is shit now while mine is awesome and only getting better.

in before wives start to get 75% of man's property in divorces

Doc_Sithicus · 2017-12-03T14:10:50+00:00

I'd say more than 10% money wise. But the peace of mind and no drama... priceless.

comptejete · 2017-12-03T12:50:30+00:00

This can't be true, moving in with your girls is apparently life changing.

drqxx · 2017-12-03T13:21:06+00:00

Never get married.

robowriter · 2017-12-03T11:12:28+00:00

No longer carrrying two even when both have jobs. And if your older and she has just ran into the wall, it becomes the raison d'être your sitting therein front of her. That's latin for go mgtow or go atm.

hodltaco · 2017-12-03T16:20:43+00:00

Been there, done that. Estimate is low and shouldn't just be financially based.

Take today, Sunday Dec. 3rd. How many married schmucks are out at the malls xmas shopping, fighting for parking, carrying bags, standing around, spending money unnecessarily, miserable.

I have a day in front of me that has me watching football and doing NOTHING. FUCKING PRICELESS!!

DEPRESSION_IS_COOL · 2017-12-03T12:28:37+00:00

Lol I am eating so well now I am at my mothers I have gained 3 kg 😄😄😄

scaur · 2017-12-03T13:00:08+00:00

so... If no one get married standard of living will be 100% for everyone. Got it.

Lipophobicity · 2017-12-03T13:30:59+00:00

Imagine the same man's standard of living if he never got married at all.

DeeMooreDeeMarriet · 2017-12-03T16:23:04+00:00

Example of Feminist "logic" 101...

"Well, my standard of living went down because before I had 100% of his income and 100% of my income now since I divorced him I only have 50% of his income and 100% of my income."

See, simple!

Depends if kids are involved and where you live. I can honestly say mine dropped a lot

watchforthinkpol · 2017-12-03T13:18:32+00:00

What's the source of this?

2017-12-03T13:40:34+00:00

They will say or do literally anything to scam the men with this marriage "license".

InformalCriticism · 2017-12-03T15:11:41+00:00

Maybe after 10 years, but those first two years of court rape are a doosy.

2017-12-03T15:26:09+00:00

Alimony needs to be abolished.

rustyshekel · 2017-12-03T19:13:51+00:00

It makes sense since women tend to waste money on frivolous things, without a husband to keep them in check, they blow their money. Men on the other hand spend their money even more wisely without a woman trying to spend it.

But even so, this stat is astonishing if it is true given all the money that the man has to fork over to a woman post marriage.

Nougat · 2017-12-03T13:44:54+00:00

Couple of things here.

One, this means that during the marriage, the woman's standard of living is being raised by the man's giving up his own time, efforts, and finances to the woman's benefit.

Second, I'm curious to how "standard of living" is calculated. Is it a questionnaire type of thing, "How do you assess your standard of living based on what you think it is?" If so, I can see where men might feel they have a better standard of living after a divorce and have less money than they did during the marriage.

neutron_ · 2017-12-03T14:54:37+00:00

It would be more of the men were not leeched off half of their stuff and salary post-divorce.

2017-12-03T15:40:12+00:00

This isn’t something we should advertise to the public. 😉

IncelWatch · 2017-12-03T16:09:26+00:00

Without any reputable sources, I’m calling bullshit on this one. In fact, I believe it’s the opposite since women are the ones who usually initiate divorce.

randomroxks · 2017-12-03T16:11:21+00:00

I doubt the generalization.

How long were they married
How many kids?
Who was the bread winner( majority income).
Who is paying for the car?
Who is paying for the daycare?

There are many more such factors. This may be another hit piece to push for more alimony child support. By the way, the payee not getting any tax rebate for child support payment is an absolute theft.

poloppoyop · 2017-12-03T16:14:46+00:00

The question is: how much does a man's standard of living drops when he gets in a LTR? 50%? 70%?

The 10% raise after a huge drop still does not make up for years of shit life.

Onkel_Adolf · 2017-12-03T16:28:14+00:00

One year later, I live in a much better place, with more disposable income than before. SHE sleeps on a cot in a doggy day-care shelter, and works as a landscaper for min wage...at age 47...with 100 grand student loan debt, and a worthless Master's degree. VERY fuckin' sad. How did this happen?

no_gal_friend · 2017-12-03T17:55:42+00:00

Only 10%??? , assuming little or no alimony and child support. I thought it would be 1000%

fuckyouredditcunts77 · 2017-12-03T21:07:38+00:00

Does this include Child support? I'm guessing that it does not.

cleats4u · 2017-12-03T23:37:27+00:00

Obviously a major malfunction in child support and alimony arithmetic in this statistic. Must be the same people that came up with the wage gap!

Futureman999 · 2017-12-04T13:12:30+00:00

If anybody ever needed another explanation for why marriage is a laughably bad deal for men in 2017, the fact that survivors of divorce rape are still better off than married guys..

cityofengland · 2017-12-04T16:08:04+00:00

But don’t they get a lot of the property after the divorce? So shouldn’t the women’s standard of living go up?
