Boomer thought that Sgt. Boomer just might be rich. (although she did not care about that) The reason she thought he might be rich was because Sgt. Boomer had 4 huge Pioneer speakers, and everything to go with those speakers, to better blast Hendrix, The Doors, and for those really romantic evenings, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."

And Sgt. Boomer also had a Seiko watch.

Although Boomer thought that Sgt. Boomer just might be rich (although she did not care about that) she was somewhat confused by the '64 Plymouth Fury.

Boomer at the time had a Triumph GT6 and a car payment.

And then Sgt. Boomer, in his '64 Plymouth Fury, caught Boomer in her Triumph GT6.

And they did not have a prenup. And they still have each other.

But that does not mean that Boomer cannot have strong opinions on the need for prenups in so many circumstances for so many.

You are just a really funny lady Boomer, great piece.

Boomer, thank you for that link. Although I love country music and played in a few country bands to get though college I had never heard of K.T. Oslin. I looked her up and discovered she is just a few months younger than I am and worth $66M so she certainly has been successful! Her song says it all as far as I am concerned.

Some of my post marital experiences with women have been along this line which is one of the reasons why I choose to remain single and enjoying myself. SHELLY WEST JOSE CUERVO 1983 YouTube - YouTube

In HS I loved this tune. It was "our song" with an early girlfriend who told her father about it. He said it was not very nice. She didn't care.

Ugh, where were you when I need your sound advise I do love me some KT. You may also like Lucinda Williams. She’s a little rougher around the edges but is one cool chick.

If your goal is to make sure that your children get your inheritance, then I don't think a prenup is the best way to achieve it. You can set up a trust or just have separate bank accounts or make other financial arrangements. I think a prenup is more appropriate for younger people, where one spouse has a lot of money and wants to protect it from a nasty divorce. One problem with a prenup is that you must disclose all of your assets or the prenup can be challenged and nullified.

You mean old gold diggers? Why not just hire a nurse, a lot less trouble, in my opinion. If you marry for money, you better be prepared to dance for the piper!

That type of codependency...is certainly not unusual.

It happens all of the time where a much younger male/female marries an older female/male for money and then has to put up with whatever the one that has the power/money wants...in the hope that they will eventually be rewarded for such.

Nothing bothers me. I have been married twice!

It’s sad as I read this. I have been married 3 times. I was completely fair before , during and after. My ex’s are still friends... I wish them well. I have given anything I wanted to my family, I’m not leaving it for death. Really? The money? My spouse will get everything in death. I choose him. I took his name. It’s my death name. I am apart of his family in every aspect even though his kids are gimme- gimme. At this age my spouse needs anything he can get as he can’t work anymore- consider that. You would rather give everything to your children whom are perfectly capable of earning their own?- no money is not important to them as a person the same age or close to you. Consider that. When I leave this world it is completely ethically right. Everyone got everything heirloom while I am alive. Money too for that matter. I had to earn mine, they can earn theirs. My spouse can rest knowing he will not struggle. As far as marriage again. Lol. Old baggage comes with each person at this age- I learned that getting married at 50- no way. Not again. Not worth it. Everything will be divided after my spouse 6 children equally. Even the brats that hate me just for marrying him.

Once upon a TOTV time, far, far away — about a week ago — there was a unique thread where nobody got snarky or hateful. (well, except for one post — that got deleted)

Although this thread was not specific to life in TV, it seemed to be of interest because the topic is certainly appropriate, and perhaps useful, to a “mature” audience, some quite knowledgeable about later in life marriages.

AND, there was no agenda or pontificating or linking ad nauseam from narrow, politically motivated sources.

Anyway, this is what a decent TOTV thread can look like. That does not happen much around here anymore. This one— “Prenups” — had some idea-exchanges, some advice, and even a little fun. A rarity, lately. (sigh)
