Just my personal view. Although one obviously does not want a companion who is only interested in mooching, what is wrong with sharing your money?
If you’re saving it for the kids, they better be the ones who are there for you in your old age and when you are ill. If you expect your spouse to be there you ought to share with them.
A neighbor became a widow half a year ago. She is attractive and very well off. She has no close relatives to leave anything to. No charities she is interested in. And she thought she might try dating. People suggested City Fire. I’ve never been there so I don’t know. The neighbor thought about that for about 10 seconds. Then she said, “I think I’ll get kittens for company.”
She doesn’t spend much, she invests instead. All her life she was used to making money not spending it. I asked her, “So, what are you saving it for?” She had no answer. We went to a great (expensive) place for lunch afterwards.
