    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    I told you guys, I'm a bored millionaire in the Hollywood Hills. It don't hurt me one bit to check on this thread a few times a year and chat with those who have something to say. Also, your system sends me emails when people respond. I assume you built your forum this way intentionally so...

    I was talking to a CPA about a week ago about this, not sure how it came up. He said there's not really much tax benefit to marriage any more. There used to be, but things are changing. He didn't elaborate much. I assume that's what you mean by financial benefit.

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    So if I'm truly committed to something, I should create heavy financial consequences for leaving that commitment? If I want to commit to working out every day, should I have a team of lawyers take away 80% of my assets once I stop working out? Maybe that would make me more committed? There's...

    IDEA 
    I looked back on what helped me change my mindset back when I was broke, and here's 2 things I did. 1- Even when you are making low money, spend only 20% of what you're making. Do this even if it means moving in with your mom! When I transitioned over from making enough to eat to getting rich...

    NOTABLE! 
    It's not about gold diggers, I'm raising the point that the LEGAL SYSTEM and LAWYERS will take your money. The deck is stacked against you in a very unfair way if you have money and you're getting a divorce. Avoiding an event that could reduce your net worth by 80% is very pertinent since we...

    Excellent point by Vigilante! Guys be sure and make a note of that list of states he mentioned. Easy fix, keep separate addresses if you want to avoid common law marriage. I'll be here staring at my screen and waiting to reply if anyone else wants to chat about this topic :) Didn't I tell...

    Yeah sure, I've posted on a few other threads and I have my own thread detailing my development that people seem to like. Why the bad vibes? I'm one of the small % of posters on this forum who have actually made some money. This thread just keeps popping up in my email when people reply, so I...

    Since Ive bashed on the legal system of marriage enough, I'll suggest some alternatives. By this point you either see the light or you don't. - get the ceremony with no state license, as suggested by GlobalWealth - get engaged and stay engaged forever - sit down with your mate and watch Divorce...

    I apologize for over generalizing. I'm sure many of the women are great and yours is for sure. I do have experience, I've been to a few of these countries and interacted with maybe 80-100 of the women. Not a huge sample, but my observation was that it is a cultural norm for women to use men for...

    Guys I'm really concerned that men are getting the wrong idea. You shouldn't be blaming women for the fact that marriage is now a sham and divorce is victimizing men. The divorce industry victimizes women too, it is a predator that doesn't care about your gender, only your bank account and...

    I will say I am happy for you. You are doing what you want. You have been warned and you decided to go through it anyway. You are aware of the risk of losing 50%, and you have accepted it. You are naive about a few things tho, and I will point them out because these misconceptions are common and...

    RealVentures I would worry that with the wealthy woman you two become more of a target for the Divorce Industry. I didn't start this thread to talk about women wiping out men financially, I started it to talk about the Divorce Industry, collusion, and the danger marriage poses to your assets...

    I think you've really cut to the heart of the matter with this little quip. It certainly IS a lion's den. If you are warned about that and want to do it anyway, I see no problem with that. If you have no wealth and don't plan on building any wealth, well then sure marriage is a great idea...

    Because it's such an unfair legal situation, I feel bad for you. The punishment did not fit the crime. I can't believe all these guys are telling you it's all your fault because you "did not choose correctly." It sounds to me like you gave someone a chance, followed your heart, and tried to stay...

    I agree with those saying poor choices are what results in your current situation. In this case, there are 2 poor choices. 1- You chose a mentally ill person to be with. IMO this can happen to the best of us because women and men really do hide their issues for the first few months or years...

    Interviewing Attorneys and Accountants - What to Ask?

    Bumping this. Did anyone come up with a list of questions or qualifications? My current accountant is pretty good, but he's hard to work with. He rattles off a bunch of accounting jargon at me and I have no idea what he's talking about. He also has this strange, threatening tone to all the...

    I gotta disagree with you on this one. This hunt for the 3K purse leaves women dissatisfied. They have some guys who they try to get money from, other guys who they care about, and then another group is the guys they like to have their sexual fun with. Which group do you want to be in??? Don't...
