A little story about a happily married couple, EXCEPT for…

[Dax777Participant 19]

Hey everybody,

My grandmother passed away last summer. She was 97 years old.
For 45 years, my grandfather, the sweetest most gentle of men, treated her like a princess, took her out to dinner almost every night (she never learned to cook); he made a lot of money that she spent (she never learned how to balance a checkbook), and then he died at age 70 of lung cancer.
My grandmother continued to live happily and comfortably for the next 27 years because of how hard my grandfather worked and saved his money.

YET she had an envelope hidden in the closet with $1000 of my grandfather’s money throughout their marriage together — for 45 years. She wrote the words Mad Money on it. It was money to walk out on him, and the marriage, just in case she one day might get really really mad at him, or just think that she has “had enough of him.” She strangely kept the envelope, and the money, long after he died. My mom, who absolutely adored my grandfather (her father), found the envelope a few months before my grandma died. My mom was so upset that her mother would have done that to her father, she nearly had a breakdown.

I am so happy I never got married and I am free to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and not have to worry about a wife who will take my money and leave me on a whim…because she got mad at me one day.

by the way….welcome to the forums

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

The money was not the only thing she had under her mattress. She probably had a simp waiting in the wings when she was younger but something probably happened to the person where she had no choice but to stick around with your grandfather. She never pulled the plug on her plan because $1000 was never going to be enough for her to get away and live her dream life. She knew what she was doing and stuck it out because your grandfather was good with his money.

ONE WEEK OF THE MONTH YOU WILL HATE HER TREATMENT OF YOU.

You mean…one week of the month you will hate her treatment of you a little more than you hate it the rest of the month.

Women make for bad investments. Worst if emotional; slightly less so if only financial.

Women are not investments nor can they ever be investments. They are depreciating assets, a lot like a car or a lawn mower.

Mad Money was a common thing back in the day. I remember my grandmother telling me that a smart girl would carry a few dollars in her shoe or tucked into her stockings in the event that she had to bail on a man.

How privileged is your life someone is always paying your bills and you can still squirrel enough money to leave them if you ever need to.

I just read the definition of a “Cupcake” in the MGTOW glossary.

“If Cupcake has a Facebook account [she has] a free pass to cheat on you. She will have old flings on her account, past men she was interested in; all it takes is for you to p~~~ her off one day and she will have one these men provide a shoulder to cry on.”

Sooo many different versions of old-fashioned Mad Money today…Facebook friends, Divorce Court (half of your bank account), Sexting, joint bank accounts, credit cards you pay off…etc.

Every man should build and keep secret a financial war chest just in case. The goal,is to have a minimum $250k in it or what I call “f~~~ off” money.

Not like any MGTOW could find a suitable girlfriend or wife, but if you ever thought you did, simply tell her the following:

“Now that we’ve found each other, there’s no more need for either of us to cruise for potential sex partners, show off for attention, whine to strangers or signal our good looks, wealth, exciting lifestyles or other virtues to the world online. I’ve shut down all social media and to be with me, you must do the same.”

You won’t even finish the sentence and you’ll look up and see a girl-shaped hole in the air in front of you where she used to be.

They call it “mad money” because you’d have to be mad to think she won’t bail with your money as soon as it looks like the most advantageous thing for her to do.

No truer words have been spoken.

Today the joint back account can also serve as her Mad Money envelope.
I can’t believe men still agree to have a joint bank account when it is so easy for the wife to take the money and lock the account, making it impossible for him to access for a period of time.
I just watched Everything Must Go, a darkly humorous Raymond Carver short story starring Will Ferrell.
It is scary how easily it all can be taken away from you. If you haven’t ever seen it, watch the movie immediately!

Sexting on cell phones by little cupcake bitches is one of the biggest culprits in cheating. Of course, I don’t blame the phones, it just makes it much easier. I had one hell of a time trying to get the cell provider to provide information on my ex wife’s phone that I was f~~~ing paying for. And no cell provider stores actual text data, they only keep phone logs of who was texted, which basically, is f~~~ing worthless.
