[quote]From my casual observations those that marry someone with a different attitude about money than their own, and plan to use individual accounts a a way to deal with it are setting themselves up for disaster in the long run.[/quote]My wife of over 20 years and I have found a way to make it work...

The usual thought is "I'm building wealth so when I retire I can spend it down and hopefully not get to zero before I die." Those who plan ahead should shift their thinking to "I'm going to generate enough income with this money to live on and also grow it to at least hedge inflation." How you inv...

In an idealistic world, I agree with those who say to join accounts. Experience, unfortunately, nudged me the other way. You can communicate well and still have a poor result from an offending partner due to lack of competence. Some people are slow learners and instead of letting them drive the c...

Eagle Rare is my go-to for Old Fashioneds. On a whim I bought some Woodford Reserve to sip, but if I'm drinking neat I usually go with Scotch -- Lagavulin 16 or McCallan 12....

My wife and I joined our accounts once we were married. About about five years I separated the accounts. I had very good reasons, none had anything to do with greed. Today we both maintain separate credit cards and bank accounts. We share a joint account for joint expenses. We would have been d...

What lynxcat said. If you are certain you can / will liquidate then count them. You can value them at a lower value to hedge. A few thoughts arise regarding taking financial advice: 1. Don't ever let anyone do your thinking for you. 2. A wise man receives counsel from many, but then mak...

You're a dumb ass. Do YOU think it will be a watershed moment (an event marking significant historical change) when the government starts invading citizen's homes for their guns? Of course it will be....

Look, stupid fricker, it won't go down like that. There is zero chance that a "mass confiscation" will happen at my solitary house. So, I'm sure my family will have time to come to grips with what's happening and plan accordingly....

[quote]Bahahaha.[/quote] IKR? Principles are dumb and funny! :lol:...

It's difficult for you to believe there are stable geniuses out there who are willing to die for something. "Give me liberty or give me death" rings hollow to you because you have no principles. Violence in any form is horrible. Any veteran will tell you that war is hell realized on Earth. I don...
