Any baw still marry a girl even though knowing she'll be a financial disaster?

No, but I married one not knowing she would be.

If they're okay with that in perpetuity, then okay. Expecting them to change is stupid.

That is a huge hurdle of life that makes success impossible. Though I’d argue that picking the wrong wife is less of a blunder than getting divorced. Both are bad, but one might be worse.

This doesn’t sound worth the trouble at all to deal with

I’d rather just remain single

I don’t know about disaster but she had the financial intelligence of a 14 year old. We are no longer married but she hadn’t saved anything for retirement, always in debt despite making good money. She refused to share her finances bc she didn’t want me judging what she spent her money on.

I found out after we split that in a past life she’d had a vehicle repossessed and had a problem paying her bills.

There were signs in the beginning but either I ignored them or she was really good at hiding them.

Sometimes the signs are more subtle . . . .

Me personally, no.

I got lucky.

But I have seen it many many times
