Probably not the answer you were looking for...
(Advice: Make sure your maxing out any 401k match, then dump as much as you can into a Target Retirement 20XX account. Also, don't get married. Your future self will thank you.)
- pchristensen 8y agoGetting married is fine, if that's what you want to do. But it does complicate financial planning and decision making.
- himom 8y agoYou don’t get married unless you’re having kids, waited for relationship stability of at least 5-10 years and have a solid prenup that also captures video evidence of willful understanding of each and every one of its terms. You don’t also do cohabitation without a palnup and similar acknowledgement as above, due to palimony. And you never commingle finances except for common house expenses and the primary residence... keep both of your finances and everything else separate, for sanity’s sake. Finally, if you want to avoid divorce rape, alimony, child-support and all that, then don’t get divorced in a community property state.

- modbait 8y agoI never believed the tales of woe, until it happened to me. Guess I'm doing my penance. Can't imagine how much worse it could be for those with kids.
