If you can live day to day like that then God bless you.

If this was for me, I'd say I'm aware what I will inherit one day, but that meant nothing of course then, we were students with the first mortgage. Life has gone on, both have made contributions, but I still think that if kids are to be involved, money should never be in consideration.
In my country we don't do alimony to the former spouse and we don't think people should get bent over in these, so I see this in that light. US system is just stupid. No wonder men see us women only after their wallets.
