Married Men Can’t Retire

[ByronParticipant 465]

I’ve been reading a topic here that married man actually can’t retire because of their wives not letting them (making their lives miserable, threatening with divorces, etc.). I must admit, prior to that realization I had never though about the subject, but now I seem to see confirmation of that fact everywhere.

Where is the love ? I thought if you care about someone you want him/her to be happy.. (a rhetorical question, really).

I was watching an episode of House Hunters International (a pathetic blue pill show). This guy works two jobs and will not be able to retire and take a break just because his wife wants to buy a million dollar mansion in Mexico. WHAT?? But it has to be seen:

F~~~ that! Retire the woman then retire thе job!

That guy can retire, he choses not to. He is no legal obligation to keep working because his wife wants him to. He should call her bluff and retire. Sure, she could divorce and take half his assets, but that won’t get her to her dream home and she isn’t going to find another guy to give it to her. He will save money in the long run.

But this is an extreme case. In the vast majority of marriages, a man will need to work longer and half more money saved up because his spouse has not saved enough to take care of herself. The cost of marriage is enormous, even if there is no eventual divorce.

Ok. Then do it.

My dad is in this exact situation. He’s 72, has stage 3 prostate cancer, and my crum bum of a mother refuses to get a real job. She hasn’t worked since ’96. I estimated that if she had worked as a full time teacher, during that time, they would be about $500k richer, and my dad would be able to retire in peace. My mother won’t even cut back on her daily lunch with friends, and three vacations a year. She is so goddamned spoiled, it makes me sick. My dad had to get tested to see if the cancer spread the other day, and he couldn’t take the rest of the day off. Immediately after, he left for NY for business, while my mother sits on her lazy ass reading books and having tea with her yenta friends.

That’s what Bluepilked deluded menginas will do! They’ll work two, three jobs just to please some resources-gobbling black-hole of a weemin who’ll ask for forever more MORE while they’ll get less for their back-breaking efforts. 70 f~~~ing years and the guy will be there still slaving away for her million-dollar home, under threat of Divorce!
Guess how long she’ll be with him after it’s “theirs”.

That sucks bro – I really feel for you and your dad. Thanks for the red pill.

The longest sexless period of my marriage occurred immediately after the announcement of my pending retirement from the military.

I can live well on my 50 percent.

Her days have been numbered ever since. Sure it’s hard to have sovereignty as a married man but you can have a plan, and I have a nickname from friends that relates to my ability to see all possible outcomes.

The dude in the video should buy a place half the size in Mexico and then tell the wife she gets one or the other… and he won’t be at the same one she is at. High maintenance, demanding women that are with men of retirement age need to realize that while they were enjoying the lifestyle he provided, they were racking up miles and depreciating.

A man who gets to keep half is a huge amount ahead based on his needs versus what SHE costs him.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

Considering the massive unpayable debts that have been incurred by Western Society, I am planning on working until my death just as my ancestors did. The United States is mathematically insolvent having passed that point a few years ago.

It is much easier to live a non-materialist lifestyle without women. The massive financial imbalances are going to destroy gynocracy and have women performing sexual acts for sammiches as in Greece.

It’s not going to be pretty for anyone. That’s what happens when greedy Banksters and women run everything straight into the ground.

I know a guy who was ( is ) actually compelled by the court to keep working.

His cheating unfaithful bitch of a wife divorced him, took the house and the kids and was awarded a huge alimony settlement by the court. I asked the guy ( who makes good coin ) why he didn’t just quit his job and do a runner with whatever he could salvage but he told me that if he did that the court would freeze his passport and all his assets and he could potentially finish up in jail. That is British justice for you.

So it isn’t only married men who can’t retire, some divorced ones can’t either.

That’s shocking, you and your dad have my deepest sympathy. Its bad enough to learn that your wife is a c~~~. I can only imagine the pain of finding out your mum is one too.

Initially they’d mentioned “1.2 no 1.3 max.”
He needed to have asserted that 1.3 is the max, or they walk.
“do you understand that 1.3 is the max, or we walk to another real estate agent?”
He’s already got his waist to hip ratio and sore joints indicating that unless he changes the ratio of his nutrients he will die. I’m fully confident that the greedy thing posing as his wife won’t hesitate to demand life insurance that will make her fat ass grow after he’s dead. I didn’t know the “servants” were free.
He may have already thought all this through and lowballed the two of them. Introverts may tend to do that to pre-win a dynamic negotiation.
And here I thought that a doctor marrying a doctor ended all the BS., but in couples wherein both have degrees, 90% of the divorces are filed for by the wife. Some men are happy as slaves.

A while back I took a class in human trafficking because it fulfilled a graduation requirement.

For my final paper, I turned in a piece with the thesis that our modern day child support and alimony system, as defined by the ILO, constitutes a form of forced labor. Basically, if someone forces you to work under threat of incarceration if you do not, it is considered forced labor.

I got an A in the class, but I never did find out what grade I got on my paper.

This is a university most people would consider to be predominately liberal, but all of my facts were well documented and I made a convincing case. And the person that graded my paper was female.

If you really look at what the UN has written/declared/etc on the subject, it’s pretty hard not to come to that conclusion.

house hunters is truly painful. and these professional couples who make lots of money also tend to blow right through it ( thanks to the wife) most of the time. the husbands wont retire, they will die working because of this keeping up with the joneses that never ends. so glad i am not dealing with that.

I was in such a good financial position very early in life. By 35 I had a family home paid off, investment property and portfolio, I could have damn well near retired.
But then along came my special f~~~en snowflake unicorn, that I had to marry, now I’m basically starting again, post divorce.
At least I’m 44, so I got time on my side, and lesson well learned. I’m enjoying putting the effort in knowing that it’s 100% for me, (lucky there were no kids therefore no child support).
Now I can focus on earning as much as I can, and spending as little as possible, accept the red pill, and look forward to enjoying my freedom, with absolute sovereignty over myself, being completely independent.

Ha ha ha ha ha, the candid wording here is priceless! Thanks ATF, you made me laugh!

I think a lot of these guys are like the old story about the frog boiled to death in water. They put the frog in room temp water and gradually turn up the heat until the water is boiling and the frog dies…..he never notices the changes because it happens so gradually.

Year by year the relentless nature of the wife eats away at their ability to say no, bank account, and dignity. After 30 years they cant take a p~~~ without asking for permission. They are miserable and not exactly sure why…but they cant fathom getting rid of the wife and starting over. Its too big of a change to overcome for their brains. They have been “institutionalized” just like a prison inmate.

[sidecarParticipant 35862]

There’s an amusing corollary here. You know who else can’t retire?

Single women.

Instead of saving for later they spend their productive years p~~~ing away their potential wealth on shoes and s~~~, expecting Captain Save-a-ho to swoop in and give then a nice, comfortable retirement by age 30 or so.

And that ain’t happening any more.
