19k a year for 6 years is 114k. So assuming he’s been making the same salary and doing this for 6 years, he walks away with a 401k worth at least 114k, while she’s in the negative because she could have been contributing to her own retirement savings instead of doing 50/50.

Oh wow, he’s a sneaky bastard. I never even thought of that.

Guys like this are so selfish. And she's letting him get away with it.

This man is using this woman as a wage subsidy - guarantee he wouldn't be putting away this much towards retirement if she weren't picking up half the bills. Since they are not married, everything in that 401k will (likely) remain his should they split up.

She's getting a whiny selfish roommate and he's building wealth that he's hoping to never have to share.

She is better off divorcing him and getting spousal support.

In my state, you are able to get 50% of his 401k earnings that were contributed during the marriage... I think you have to be married for about 6-8 years, I can't remember how long.

Wait. Wait. WHAT?

There’s a cap on how much you can put in your 401k.

You couldn’t put over 18,000 bucks in the 401k in 2015. It’s up to a 19.5k cap now.

Also a lot of employers match a percentage of your salary …. So if his does, he’s putting in even less of his net and still maxing out the 401k.

Also, if you’re married in a community property state, 50% of his 401k is yours starting at the date of the marriage. If not married, she’s just bankrolling him so he can bulk his retirement more easily.

Sounds like a gross chap.

6 years and no ring? Girl…he’s playing you.

Wow he’s using her to subsidize his retirement and then trying to squeeze more out of her for bills? What a jerk.
