    I thought it was funny how Dave indirectly told this guy he has jack crap in the bank for retirement.

    I've told my kids that if they learn nothing else from my vast reservoir of wisdom, they should take away three immutable truths: (1) get an education; (2) expect nothing from other people; and (3) be very, very, very careful who you marry. #3 may be the most important. Nothing can sidetrack you like a bad marriage.

    I've lost count of friends who had to divide it all up by 2 and start over in their 50s. What a shit show. That doesn't include the years of mental torture and accompanying lack of life progress that comes with it.

    And, yet, men are the worst. This is where leading with our cocks really gets us. Of those buddies who've done the divided by 2 dance, 90% remarry. WTF? Just have a girlfriend. She can live with you, live off of you, you pay all expenses and everybody has a good time. Why the need to fuck that up with marriage.

    Marriage is good for one thing, and one thing only: child rearing. When that's in your rear-view mirror, don't fucking do it.

    I would never, under any circumstances, remarry. Not ever. I am dead sure of that.

    Exemption: Unless you can score v2.0 with a defined benefit pension.

    Ka Ching!

    True. If v.2 makes you wealthier, then boom! Do it. It's usually the other way around, but I would definitely marry up.

    Problem is, we? (men) are externally focused beings, even when we get old. I could never be involved with an ugly woman. So you have to score on both counts or it's a no go. Hitting both variables in the same person has to be less-than-10% odds.
    The Throbber is a 1%'er.
