Dumb Married friend suggested I buy a house, guess why?!

[freedomParticipant 5129]

He told me that because I am not married and prenups are usually for assets and not actual money, I should buy a place so I can list in a contract when I get married.

Dude If you are so scared of divorce, why get married?
I actually plan to buy a place in a year or 2, when my trust fund is free for use and when I have some more cash for getting a sane mortgage , but it has nothing to do with getting a woman to join me haha

This makes zero sense.

Women can go f~~~ them selves.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Buy a house so you can list it in the prenup? Your friend has an awful lot of faith in the system. I take it he hasn’t been through a divorce yet. The house would go to the lawyers. He’d have to sell it to pay the legal fees. What good is a prenup then?

Once you have kids, lawyers can wipe their asses with a prenup

That’s the point bro. You can do whatever you want because you’re not !! Married.

Peace is > piece.

A painful question.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

I own my own home outright and I’m keeping it that way! Had I not fled the plantation mindset and all I have to offer it in sacrifice I wouldn’t typing these words from HER HOUSE because I would have been LONG EVICTED, swindled, and made HOMELESS!

Let them live in concrete section 8 housing where they belong!

Exactly. The risk is obviously greater than the reward so why is he looking for reasons to stay at the table?

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

I think (hope) that what the friend means is this: buy a house now using your own funds, appearing on the mortgage as the sole obligor and on the deed as the sole owner and transferee. So far so good. Then, if he gets married and keeps the deed in his name only, the house is a premarital acquisition and his wife identifies it as such in a prenup, further recognizing that the house will remain beyond the scope of marital property unless or until the husband puts the wife on the deed. If this is what he means, the home buyer might have a chance of retaining the house in divorce. If he means something else, I can’t possibly imagine what it is.

Problem is — at least in some states — if any marital assets are later used to improve or change the house, or if the wife puts her labor into materially improving the house, then a judge can find that she now has part ownership of the house. (At least this is what one of my attorneys told me during my divorce).

I always thought prenups could only protect your assets going into the marriage. If it was your house, but you only had 10% equity in it, and 10 years later it was paid off, they’d just screw you and say 1/2 of the 90% equity you accumulated during the marriage belonged to her, and you’d end up having to buy her out of 45% the value of the house. Same as if she could prove you put a chunk of money into improving a place up while married, somehow she’d be entitled to back reimbursement for that as well.

In the end just the simple fact that you have to worry about how to protect your assets going into a marriage should be enough for you to be asking yourself why should I even get married? One of my grandfathers had a live in girlfriend for 30 years. She paid him rent every month and he kept records of it. If the s~~~ ever hit the fan with her and she got nasty he was just going to treat her like a tenant, toss her ass out, and not owe her s~~~. He learned his lesson when he got divorced from my grandmother lol.
