That's the answer, right there. When I look for a wife, I will lie about my job and income. Buy a shitty car, tell her I'm a clerk somewhere, and rent a modest apartment. Then, if she stays, I can be sure it's real love. Not just dollar signs in her eyes. Even after, sign a prenup. There is no way some broad is gunna take me for 50%, when they played zero role in my success.
Exactly right. That's why I will never marry without a prenup. For self-taught guys like me that never had the privilege of a wallstreet job to learn the ropes, the sweat equity i invested in my own "education" was made long before i put a ring on her finger.
You guys crack me up. Anyways... I've been married for 6 years, and we dated 5 years prior to that. We have 2 kids. I make 7 digits a year from trading, and she makes 6 digits a year as a physician. I didn't sign a prenup, although we did discuss it at the time (since I brought in a lot more assets than she did). We are having a blast. Things aren't always perfect, but having a family is one of the best things to have ever happened to me. She's a great partner in life, and I can honestly say I look forward to the next 50 years of my life with her next to me.... Much rather that than being one of those 50 yr olds with a fake tan and a comb over trying to hit on the waitress.
Lucky you..... count your blessings... its hard to get an edge in trading and hard to find a good girl that is smart..
my parents stayed togther are happy as hell.. and i'm a drug addict.. sober though quite a few years... i feel like because my parents were such good people it was easy for me to find getting on the right track again.. cause it was sort of innate in my up bringing .. but no one is perfect
tell her you want to put, i will never try to change you in the vows,if tha'ts a deal breaker,you dodged a huge bullet
Good for you and congratulations. Addiction is common, these days. I used drugs in my teens and twenties to escape anxiety. Kicked the drugs and found a new addiction - work. At least it's productive. Escapism is a powerful thing. Going back to revisit old wounds and pain is difficult, and difficult to resolve. Maybe time heals everything? I'm 34, too, so I don't know. That's my sad story for this thread
