She does not share the same amount of enthusiasm reading through these posts that I do. She will probably never see the post.

This thread is wild to me. If your happy at home everything else falls into place. My wife and I have seen our bills exceed income to more money than we knew what to do with. While most people would think that being without money is bad I’ve never been happier in my life since I sold my business, while it’s known that I’m fairly well to do, I could never have achieved what I have without her support.

Now that I’m on the outside looking in like Blackmercedes I wish I would have done it sooner, our cash flow has decreased but I know even better now , that if we had to live in a tent we would likely be an even happier family.

If I had the choice of making huge $$$ or sharing a pretend cup of tea with my daughter in the morning I'd say that's my cup of tea.

I had the choice and the tea is fantastic.

Lots of great insights here - my compliments and thanks to all the posters.

Blackmercedes and medmech, how old r u two? Congradulations, you two are lucky. I seriously mean that. With the rich and poor thing, I was taking that to the extremes to illustrate the hypothetical situation.

By the way, i forgot to mention, I am 23, and never married and have no kids. I never been down the path yet, but someday might have to choose, so hence the question....

*A wise man learns from his mistakes, a wiser man learns from others

*Hey if you have a clone, and your wife was sleeping with "IT", would you consider that cheating? Remember "The 6th day" with arnold swarzeneger?

She's on her way to being rich!

Not a bad idea at all. Where can I find one of these "clones"???

That reminds me of what I forgot...first off, eww *lol* Second, I don't think they've done anything like that in at least 10 years...even if he wanted to, she's got a 17 year old bisexual boy-toy (yeah, I know, double-eww); most of the $$ that she throws away, she's throwing away on him...

Probably a good case for the Jerry Springer Show...

Oh yeah, and she condemns me and my girlfriend because we're living together and aren't good Catholics...

If by poor, you mean living under a bridge somewhere, with a wife, **** her, I'll take the money.



If you mean middle class, I'll take my life now. Married and happy.

To echo medmech's statement, I didn't get my bearings straight without my wife. My business is pretty successful, though I still have to work, but I could not have done it without her.

Have a great day.

Enough about me, how are you doing?

Perhaps you should add a choice to the poll "married with kids and poor". (I guess the poor & kids part is redundant).
A wise man judges is wealth not by bank accounts but by love and happiness and nothing comes close to the first morning snuggle from the little offspring.

I WAS anti- marriage and anti-kid but time and senility sure changed that. I highly now recommend both.

My $0.01 (Was two cents but I can't afford it anymore).

Kudos to this thread starter. Makes one think.

Amen to that. I put strippers and bartenders kids through college before I got married.
