Had a 92 buick regal that the odometer broke on at 192k. I drove it for another 8 years. Probably had 400k on it when I gave it to my dad to trade in at a push pull or drag sale for $1500. Had a subaru WRX. I drove for 200k like I stole it every day. Only cost me about $1500 in maintenance over the 10 years I had it. Bought it used for $18k. If you calculate out the cost of ownership per mile. Putting a few grand into keeping an older vehicle on the road saves a ton compared to buying a new car.

Here's how he may explain a pre-nup to her: Due to no fault of your own, the system has been rigged so it rewards a breakup. Then explain that you know she has no intention of leaving, so this won't have any impact on her. Ask her "if you loved someone, would you deliberately incentivise them to leave you?". Explain that you're just offering no incentive to leave. No incentive to split. A marriage to you means a marriage to you". If she is marrying because she loves you, she loses nothing. She has no intention to split. If, on the other hand, she insists that she wants to be rewarded for leaving you, that should tell you everything you need to know about her intentions & allow you to make a more informed decision

And in any case, even without a prenup, what matters is not the state you get married in, but the state you get divorced in that determines how property is distributed. For that reason alone, having a prenup makes sense. They usually hold up in court - it's not hard for a competent attorney to write one.

Dave, I don't usually agree with you, but then again, you say you advise the average person. In this case, I believe you to be 110% correct and spot on. I would be more concerned, as you stated, about her relatives demanding stuff. She is marrying him and he is marrying her. As the Bible says, a woman leaves her family to join with him to create their own family unit and that specifically excludes her parents and his from trying to join said union. I have worked too many years in a large, acute care hospital to realize there are very few victims of anything but rather lazy volunteers who don't want to follow thru on the Bible principle of one reaps what they sow. God Himself gave us all the gift of both health and curiosity of how the world works. Our challenge is to not only keep it but utilize them everyday. Good job Dave.

@@cajbaf Many people don't value contract/convenant/"piece of paper" marriages, like it sounds in the case of your daughter. That's fine, but in those cases I wonder "why get married at all then?"

If you want to get married, you can find someone and get married; and if you don't want to get married, you can see someone indefinitely.

This is idiotic advice. The courts in most or all states award child support based relative imputed incomes and child caring time. The courts still are biased toward the mother in these calculations. The prenup should deal with community v. separate property, parenting time with kids, and ideally the elimination of spousal support for either party.
Prenups just get laughed out of court anyway. I don't know why people even bother with them.

Ай бұрын
Because you're completely wrong. Prenups are rarely set aside. Redpillers and MGTOWers would have us all believe otherwise, but the facts are what they are. There are legal rules and guidelines that need to be met, but any competent family law attorney will know what they are and it's not hard to meet them. People fall victim to selection bias. The horror stories of someone's prenup getting thrown out get talked about. But when the guidelines are followed and the prenup is followed in the divorce proceeding, nobody goes online to talk about it. So people get the mistaken impression that prenups don't work.
Getting married and having kids are two of the WORST financial mistakes you can ever make especially with a high maintenance female. Men marry for sex, women marry for "security ".

It made so much difference in reliability, fuel economy, safety, and it also built my credit. I don't regret it all. After that, I bought the car (new day, sunk costs, new decision) and now I purchase to own for at least 10 years. But then, I started life with less than nothing and the lease was instrumental early career.

I would imagine the #1 reason for divorce isn’t money but a woman being bored and unhappy and they need to be happy at all times or it’s over.
This is a dynamic of age gap relationships. Unfortunately I wouldn’t marry her until I had my assets protected. You never know what happens. She hasn’t settled down in her life at that age. Maybe if there is kids etc. I got married /divorced young and lost loads, took 4 years to recover financially, I’m not doing that again!

The only people who can validly lease cars from a financial standpoint are those who own a corporation and the corporation leases the car. Or in the case of a realtor who needs a somewhat luxury car to show success and can validly write off expenses. Other than that, the people who lease cars want more than they can afford and pay through the nose to lease a car they can't qualify to get a loan for.
Aside from the money talk, he sounds like a good man-even defends his partner in her absence. I wish him the best, regardless whom he ends up with.
That man's lady is already signalling she's problematic.That man knows that but is allowing is 'feelings' to keep him 'moving forward' rather than his thinking. His thinking got him to ask this show what he's already in conflict about (his feelings vs his thinking... he should side with his thinking). It sounds like that man been on his purpose and has done well to accumulate his money and now he's 38. My question is the question every man should ask himself when he's thinking about bringing a lady in. For what purpose will she advance or "new" purpose is she intended to fill? Will she be a 'acceptable return' on his investments or a 'money pit' (most women are the latter so be ready vetting such ladies out without hesitation). She's already in conflict with that man's purpose with her money atrophy mindset (undermines what got that man to where he is now). If that man isn't looking for 'kids', she really has no 'purpose' beyond a recreational arrangement (aka: we're not building a family but we're just having 'feelings' and costing him the amount of money 'feelings' without purpose deserves...not much, as 'feelings' are a temporary 'state of mind' and not something attainable). If the man does want kids, she has to have the self discipline to honor duty to the family he's creating as her feelings will 'wax and wane' and she has to persevere despite that. That man's lady doesn't appear to have the self discipline with money he needs to compliment his life and not create serious atrophy to his fortune. A women you are going to be 'stuck with' through marriage needs to be 'unproblematic'. She is problematic now. A prenup is important but that's your final line of defense if she becomes 'problematic' _later_, not already 'up front' (and don't be magnanimous with it, make it harsh... as she won't have to 'worry about the terms' unless she wrecks the whole thing). Your primary line of defense is: 1) Does she serve a 'purpose' to that man? Not 'emotional'. If she is not going to make kids for that man, it's pointless to get married (the most expensive way to get stuck with a lady and have nothing to justify the expenses and risk being introduced). Marriage is 'for the kids'.... not for you... it's a sacrifice you make for the betterment of raising the kids and not justifiable otherwise. It's a big loss to the man so don't take that loss without the prize being included (aka: the kids). You'll lose a part of your fortune raising those kids but they are worth it (she's not... she's just a necessary expense as a means to have and raise those kids). 2) Is she problematic? A suitable lady should be fit, feminine, friendly and agreeable. Ever lived with a disagreeable person before? Perhaps a roommate you had to kick out or somebody that stayed with you for a while. It's a nightmare. This is way worse getting 'stuck' with somebody like this though a marriage contract (the most expensive eviction process for you caused by voluntarily entering a restrictive marriage contract with a problematic lady).

Prenup YES! But also, all his assets need to be transferred out of his name into a non-revocable trust before he gets married. Then they can't be considered marital assets. If they have kids then he can change the bylaws of the trust to include his wife later down the line
premarital counseling is so helpful. Our pastor told us that he recommends prenups for everyone he married, and my husband's family agreed that we should. But we felt that a prenup was like planning for divorce and we were a year out of college, and neither of us had any assets other than the house we bought together which was mortgaged. fortunately we've been in agreement mostly and especially on money. the last car we sold was sold to the junk yard because it wouldn't pass inspection because the garage couldn't put it up on the lift due to the rust on that 20 year old car's undercarriage. He is asking about a prenup, so he knows. She wants her name on the house without having put money into it, so he knows. If he offered her that since she'll be his wife that's one thing but she shouldn't be asking for it.
I had to watch it twice. I thought i heard dave say that she was a "great lay"😂😂😂 Obviously he said "great lady". But thats not what i heard first. 😂😂😂😂😂
It didn't come up in the conversation, but are there children from previous marriages for either the caller or his soon-to-be fiancé? Also, is there a large wealth variance between the two individuals? If so, then they really need to sit down and work out what happens if this marriage doesn't last. How do I protect my children? That would be my main concern. Now, if they get married and thirty years down the road, it doesn't matter. What's mine is hers and what's hers is mine.
