Yeah, it sucks “losing “ 50% to the other side, after 20 years of working 1.5 jobs (her 0 money).

BUT, the kicker is , i still have to care for her half!! Why? Because kids. I need her to maximize her half to house them, shelter them, spoil them , and leave as much inheritance as possible . She doesn’t spend much on herself, mostly a shitload on kids.

She knows absolutely nothing about finances, saving , investing , paying bills . For the sake of the kids , it’s still in MY best interest, that my losing $ half goes a long way. It does me no good if she runs her half $$ into the ground, because the people I care about will suffer .

I hope this makes sense , but that’s how I look at it, and that’s my situation.
