Even with a prenup, with no mortgage payment between the two of them, he should be able to start maxing out his 401k & IRA. It hurts to play catch up but he has an ideal situation here to recover from his past mistakes. I wish I was playing catchup without a mortgage payment each month! Lucky dawg!

Dave's most important point was that you can still partner on finances and plans with a prenup in place. The point is communication and planning together. That's what they need, to be on the same page with planning.

Those number of spouses that work together to achieve financial growth and success were most likely married at a younger age and began building early in their careers. For couples that marry in their later years, it's a different story. You want to protect your nest egg if you were financial responsible during your career.

I put the house in a land trust for my children, which he did not want to sign. If anything happened to me, he would be able to live there until he died then the property would go to my children. He did not like that and wanted to know what would happen to his children. I told him he should have provided for his children.

Well think about it. Both were divorced...she has a house, he has nothing. That makes sense when you look at what typically happens to the man in a divorce vs the woman. I rent the master suite in a house that is in the name of a guy I've never met, but pat my rent to his ex...who got the house in their divorce. This guy is about to be debt free, which is pretty good for a guy that is starting from square one after having his ex take most of what they had and paid the lawyers. I agree that either your a team or not. If you join your life to someone else (regardless of marital status) you need to start thinking in terms of us, not "me and maybe you".

Maybe I worded it backwards, I meant to say his channel helps people of all ages. I am saying as a whole, the KZread finance section seems to be directed towards people of younger generations. It's a bunch of young people telling you how to make money while they are 23 and single with no kids or a mortgage and can afford to take a risk a lot easier. These youtubers some how come up with money and they don't really tell you how they actually got it, I am an electrician working crazy hours trying to make ends meet while going home and making videos after work, I am kind of an "average Joe" that is making videos for fun trying to show everyone that you don't have to be rich to be financially successful. They never talk about the person in their 40's with 3 kids and a mortgage trying to figure out how to better himself/herself and their family. This channel does, and I meant to say that in my comment. I just wish these other young youtubers , would incorporate or talk directly to the older generations needing advice and help instead of just directing their entire focus towards the younger generations.

I’m in a very similar situation at 56 years old. Thank you for the advice!

Anyone working a full time job would make 'a lot more' than him and I'd be concerned if I were his wife or girlfriend that he is really focused on her assets. Why doesn't he focus on improving his own situation?

Same, although 53 now. If anything, I wish I started in my teens or early 20's, and I wish I saved more than $50 a week when I started saving. Either way, I don't regret saving for retirement at a fairly young age. With that said, back then pensions were much more common (but ending, I missed that boat) and SS looked solid, so it was fairly rare for a 20 something to be thinking about retirement. This is why Gen X will likely be screwed (post pensions and 401k/IRA was pretty new and not to prevalent). The millennials and today's younger generations generally don't have pensions and know not to expect a healthy SS system, so it's much more common for them to start early... Which they will be grateful later for doing. That's assuming our gov doesn't completely sink our financial system!

50 yr old divorcee here - 11 years ago went through a divorce and my business failed at the same time, so started over again from scratch. Met a wonderful lady and we bought a house 8 yrs ago. We have separate accounts, my money is mine, hers is hers, we have a joint account we both put money into and that’s where house expenses, groceries, taxes etc comes out of. Folks, no need to combine accounts and no need to get married again, we have common goals and it works for us. Luckily I landed a higher end sales job w company truck, cell phone and bonuses so I’m able to put 20-25% of my income away. Only debt is the mortgage but we’ve fast tracked it - 8 yrs left. Life’s good!

I feel so sorry for this guy. Literally sounds like a shell of himself after the divorce. I wish him the best.

Stop handing out gifts and money. (After you stop)...The people who are left in your life are the people who truly care.

My husband and I agree, that the best thing that ever happened to us is when people stopped helping us when we were younger We managed with hard work and discipline to help ourselves Long story short we have 3 house, 2 are airbnbs.we are selling one now, other two are mortgage and debt free We live in one airbnb the other out Paid off our 2 trucks, no credit card debt We live on about 27,000 per year and we live well Stop helping people is how you really help them

What an eye opener!

3:13 Dave doing the ole’ “1-2 Ramsey shuffle” on the mute button.

When Dave hits that mute button, that means be quiet and listen!! 😂 😂

Dave is right, max your retirement(s), including the catch up amounts available after your turn 50. For those who are reading and over 50, know what your catch up amount is. It is dependent on the kind of account you have (401k, Roth, SEP, etc)

Still not going to help, he sounds like he wouldn't be able to max those out and 10 years to grow is not a lot unless he dies between 70-73 which is terrible to work until 65 and enjoy 5-8

Great advice Dave!!!

Man I love the mute button that Dave clicks so he can do all the talking lol

@Yo ParkHill I sure did not - single mom household. I happened to go through a TSP (kind of like a 401K for the military) class in 2006 and started putting money towards it. As I was promoted, I put the difference in pay towards the TSP. In Iraq in 2009 I made my first roth IRA contribution because I was making so much tax free money and there was literally nothing to spend it on in the middle of the desert. I never had the fancy stuff, I currently drive a 2006 minicooper while stationed in Germany.

This call is my main issue with couples keeping separate finances. There is going to be a point where not working together is really going to show. They will be retired and she’ll wanna go to a fancy restaurant but there’s no way he can afford it... so what is the solution, she gives him a loan or acts like it’s charity? I’m all for the prenup if that makes you comfortable but if you’re not going to work together to ensure that you spouse- the person you want to stick with through thick and thin- feels supported then don’t get married. They are already married so they need to have real conversations about what retirement looks like together because for this man, he seems very anxious

@robert8930

yeah, no. separate finances are a good idea all the time, especially when someone makes way more than the other. if you want to go to a fancy restaurant, you can pay for both, if you have the money. if you want to go in a fancy vacation and he don't have the money, you can pay for both or pay a bigger ratio. you don't split the money in half if you make 3 times more than him, so he/she can spend as he/she wish. either you invest it, or save it, but if it's spending money, you spend what you earn.

His new wife owns her own house and makes a lot more than he does. Must be true love for her.

that's good... so he divorces her, he will get some money since she makes more than him. I predict the next 20 years, women will make more than men and still marry them.

Once he starts put a heap of money away and she see's that he is more financially secure, she will hop on board once they are equal

I ❤ the fact that you explained that families who work together make more money 💰

I would love to hear her side of the story

Yes. Everyone would probably say, he needs a real job.

Combining incomes is not needed nor desirable. My wife and I keep our finances separate. We are debt free and set very good for when retirement comes. Combining our accounts would not have improved that in any way shape or form.

If this 'man' simply does what women do in similar circumstances, he'll own 50% of his wife's assets in 3-5 years, and the divorce courts will guarantee it....most prenups become null/void after that amount of time...he just has to argue, 'equality',
