I didn't get married until I was in my 40s - 44 to be exact. She was 54. It wasn't a terrible marriage, but here's the thing: I was the retirement plan. She was too old and too tired, had too many medical issues to monkey branch, or help me build a life. She was mostly along for the ride.
I started investing in 2010, so 10 years into my white collar career. In 9 years, with my financial advisor leading the charge, I managed to save and invest nearly a half million. Think how much I could have put aside for retirement if I would have had a help mate, instead of a room mate who spent my money.
Even though she left me in debt when she passed, I paid that off, and am essentially debt free, except for the house. I spend about half of my annual income, so yeah, I'm comfortable. And single. I'm alone, but not lonely. Ain't no man got time for that.
